I think it's a question of specification.  With the original RIFF/WAVE format, 
at channels>2, elements of the data layout (specifically, the sample packing 
in the 'data' chunk) were explicitly declared to be undefined (essentially 
meaning, left up to the implementor), whereas in WAVE-EX they are explicitly 
defined.  Thus, you have a much better chance of achieving successful 
inter-operability for channels>2 with WAVE-EX.

Cheers!
