Seems to be video-centric. (Main purpose of VLC is to play film files. Multichannel support will

True - but but it looks like there's nothing precluding proper multichannel support except (!) the
current defaults for output. Unfortunately the documentation is not too clear on this point
(http://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:Play_HowTo/Basic_Use/Audio#Audio_Channels)
P.S.: Why can't all these university departments not simply < manage > to develop some own open

Trouble is a million and one other things to do, plus, well, it's not really a priority for us
as we don't need it for research.
P.S. 2: The question is certainly not which toolkit to use. Many there are.
:-)
I don't think that really matters, either, but I do think that it's best to get it into something
that's already familiar to Josephine and Jo Public :-)
