more than 2 (stereo) channel in a single stream, or multiple audio streams
(for example english and hungarian audio) in a .avi/.ogg file ?

dunno
i've never seen too lot files with vorbis audio, and all of them were with
single stream with stereo 2ch audio.
anyway in theory it may work - the vorbis decoder in mplayer passes the
channel number, doesn't matter how many channels it has

upload samples if you have files unplayable, i'll check
