3D Sound by Creator of MP3

im333mfg writes "News.com has an article detailing the Fraunhofer Institute for Media Technology's latest and greatest audio solution, Iosono, or as they're putting it 'true three dimensional audio, which can give the impression of, for example, a horse galloping through the center aisle of a movie theater, or pinpoint a noise so that it sounds exactly like a person shouting from outside theater walls. The best existing surround sound speakers can approximate this only for a small sweet spot, perhaps a few feet wide, while the Iosono system would create the same realistic illusion for everyone in the room.'"

...OGG already supports... hey, wait a sec...

...300 or 400 speakers...

Oh God! OGG only supports 255 channels! IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD!!! ARRRGGHHHH!!!!!

I justify the above comment based solely on the following points:

1. I haven't RTFA.
2. Fraunhofer --> MP3 --> Not As Good As OGG(tm) --> must bitch about it.
3. I am quite aware this has nothing to do with MP3.

I just wanted to say it before someone else did ^_^
