I think this would be a good thing to implement.  I think it should be core, 
rather than a plugin.

Sadly, I think you'll be waiting a long time for development of a core solution 
to this by the developers.  There have been various suggestions around this 
area of functionality, such as to prevent playback of multi-channel sound on 
stereo outputs (to avoid white noise), but nothing has been implemented over 
the last 5 years; it's looking less likely now.

NB. You can achieve a workaround solution using Erland's plugins:

CustomScan: to detect a new custom tag, such as MULTICHANNEL=1.
MultiLibrary: to create libraries, eg. a library of stereo albums, and a 
library of multi-channel albums.
CustomBrowse: to browse a chosen library on each player
CustomSkip: to prevent accidental playback of multi-channel songs on a stereo 
player.

So if you look at the whole library, you'd get a count of all music, but 
looking at a particular library, eg. stereo, would count only albums that 
appear in that library.
