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.
