I was thinking that only intensity stereo was destroying phase info, and
thus destroy dolby surround info.
Even according to FhG (from mp3enc doc), M/S without intensity is safe
for pro-logic.
Could anyone with a pro-logic decoder could try encoding the same piece
of dolby pro-logic sound with and without Lame JS in order to see if
surround info is preserved or not?
