I see no great idea of art in VR. At least not currently.

prefer the ITU spec of LRCLFELsRs as that seems to be a sort of common

It is Firefox that fails us here. Firefox can play Vorbis files, but not

I DO know VLC plays DTS straight out of the box.
The only issue with DTS files is that they are large ... and so not so good
