There is a corner case of matrix encoded surround formats that are also
valid n-mono PCM streams.
I think people are making too big a deal of this thoughm its not like
theres ever a situation where the host knows that the stream is maxtrix
encoded and you dont. You either imported it in that form, or you stuffed
LCRS into a matrix encoder.
Its a corner case anyway.
