AACMachine and BeLight question

[AlexeyS]

I can't understand when I should use this in AACMachine:
5.1
Surround
Surround2

And when I should use this in BeLight:
dpl
dplii

For example, I need to transcode 5.1 AC3 to 5.1 AAC. What settings I should use in both programs? What other settings need for?

aacmachine is a gui for the old psytel aac encoder, which uses the wrong channel order when outputting multichannel streams, so dont use it if you want to create a 5.1 aac!

So, I must completely uncheck Output Mode option? This will leave 5.1? :confused:
