[LAU] surround sound with mplayer and windows media

[Hector Centeno]

... forgot to add: yes, you can create a binaural version with Csound
using the older opcode or the better and recently added hrtf opcodes:

http://www.csounds.com/manual/html/hrtfstat.html

I've been using them to create binaural versions of my multichannel
pieces and it works pretty well. It's easy to put together a Csound
orchestra to process multiple mono files into a single stereo
binaural, I have one for 8 channels that I can post here if you are
interested.

Cheers,

Hector
