5.1 AC3 --> Dolby Surround 2 .mp2 downmix safe?

[buzzybot]

As of BeSweet 1.4RC4, is it safe to include the "-s surround2" switch in a typical 6ch 5.1 AC3 --> DS2 surround compatible .mp2 downmix, without compensating with additional postgain values in azid/ota?

I know DS2 downmix had problems with this in the earlier betas.

My commandline example would look like this:

C:\BeSweet\BeSweet.exe -core( -input D:\Extracted_audio_1.ac3 -output D:\Encoded_audio_1.mp2 -logfile D:\Encoded_audio_1.log ) -azid( -s surround2 -L -3db -c normal -g max ) -ota( -d -160 ) -2lame( -e -b 224 -m s )

Will this be ok?

Cheers,
