Besides licensing, I would worry more about this statement:
Quote:
What processing power is required for decoding and encoding MP3 Surround?
The Fraunhofer IIS MP3 Surround encoder causes workloads approx. 50% higher than the Fraunhofer MP3 stereo encoder. Decoding six channels with the Fraunhofer IIS MP3 Surround decoder needs around three times the processing power of decoding stereo MP3.


But it does sound very cool. Maybe I'll have to start checking out the DVD Audio available.
