You are right to "normal stereo" but "surround (stereo)" does contain a certain
amount of information for the rear and center-speaker which is simply thrown
away in that cases. There is analog equipment available in TVset's to make use
of it,
but so far i know of now sound-card that makes the same, even if it claims to be
a 3d-card. The reason is probably simple - the price d*lby requires for doing
that is so high, that it might easily double the price of cheap soundcards,
therefore you get none.

I apologize that i brought that thread up, i see now that it leads nowhere.
