So you could also say since the more important channels are only 16bit, anyway, you can use "-down16" to convert the whole track to 16bit. However, doing this will result in eac3to applying dither to the main channels, too, unfortunately.

Maybe you can implement "smart" "-down16"-switch behaviour then? Which will truncate lower 8 bits instead of making "standard TPDF dithering" for these channels? Or there are hidden disadvantages?
