I think no serious person in audio wants anything to do with lossy compression which is a commercial compromise for no real reason(uncompressed audio no longer looks like that big a file). Since probably no one is interested in exotic surround items except people who are serious about audio, I think compressed surround stuff is a nonstarter in the real world. You would be looking for a person who cared a lot about surround but did not give a darn about sound quality. I doubt that there are many such! Robert
