Iam not saying that there is any need or sense to store this nor that i would know what a decoder would do with that information, but i do know copper purity counters will prefer NUT over other formats if the distance is stored.
Well I would like to see some mathematical/physical reason that it's potentially useful rather than the opinions of people who pay for solid-gold *digital* audio cables to give their sound "more body"...
Id say liquid he cooled superconductive cables are better (for digital of course).
Anyway, technical reason: If the player knows the reference locations and actual locations it can adjust the delays to avoid unwanted interference. And no i dont know how well it would work in practice. Though with extreem cases like 1km difference it could correct the resulting A/V desync at least.
