I think stereo is an encoding on records, you might not be able to encode
that.

You could do it with two mixed signals though, a saw and sin of the same
aplitude. The sin could start at just higher frequency than the saws
fundamental and end fairly high, then you can just do frequency extraction
to find the position.

Maybe you could use a Grey Coding technique to determine position and
speed in one. Or data recorded in a 8bit computer loading noise type way.

It would be interesting to see whats on the Final Scratch disk.
