I have done a test encode with besweet 1.4 on surround2 setting. I am under the impression that the center speaker is very heavily used. I remember reading about someone claiming this to be a fault of besweets matrix and suggesting another one. I also remember that this problem was supposed to be fixed. I am using DVD2SVCD with default downmix amplitudes. I did not add any plugin into the besweet folder. Just grapped the last regular version from dspguru's site.
Here is the log:
