Yep.  My bad.

| Sony did in fact provide for future expansion by allocating bits in
| the UTOC to indicate different encodings (see
| http://www.minidisc.org/md_toc.html#sec0cstruct), the problem is that
| non-MDLP players seem to ignore the encoding bits and try and play
| everyting as SP audio.

Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that Sony never enforced that bit
as a standard with other vendors.

| 1024/212=4.83.  Saying it removes "4 bits out of every 5" makes it
| sound like it operates without regard to longer periods in the signal,
| which seems misleading.

In hindsight I can see that.  It was not my intent.
