There's really no difference in amount of spatial information between 5.1 and 7.1:
Sound source directly left or right simply has identical signal in both front and rear channel of that side.
Darn Microsoft for killing DirectSound and HW acceleration of sounds.
If sound rendering was still done by sound card only limit for output channels would be how many of them sound card supports.
Am sorry but I have to disagree with you.
On the GSX I can hear the difference between 5.1 and 7.1 playing this demo back is so good.
Am not sure how well it comes across in YouTube because how I had to record the GSX.
