- "NeroAacEnc fail sometimes when piped directly by eac3to" - Is there a way to reliably reproduce this?
I don't know.

- You mean there's a new decoder dll version from ArcSoft which fixes the problem?
Nope, I use 1.1.0.0. We can decode to WAV Lss,Rss,Lsr,Rsr -> SL,SR,BL,BR, but decode Ls,Rs,Lsr,Rsr to WAV is not possible because don't exist the equivalent channels for Ls,Lr. Then the mix what ArcSoft put in SL,SR,BL,BR is correct for me.

- use dcaenc besides Surcode, use fhgaacenc and qaac besides Nero AAC Encoder.
You can use this encoders with 'pipe'.

- look for MKVtoolnix files in the PATH environment-variable, not only in the Windows Registry
I don't know for what eac3to need MKVtoolnix.

- NO "undocumented" options anymore.
OK.

- Sonic just doesn´t exist therefore it delevelop is discontinued. Maybe Roxio encoder is alternative, isnt?
I don't know, but maybe we can use only free soft.

- Use ffmpeg/libavformat for MKV muxing
Maybe. I don't know if is possible and the benefits, please explain.

- Being able to output to NUL in Windows
Please explain for what.

- Support SRT subtitles when using -check
OK. Maybe is little info bug.

- Remove bit-depth display for lossy tracks
OK. I have the same opinion.

- support AAC ADTS and MP4 input and output
OK with input (already in my first post). ADTS output is now possible with qaac and fhgaacenc 'pipe'.

- support input from pipe/support for stdin ( eac3to.exe input.stdin ... )
I don't know if is easy to implement. Please explain the usage.

- support timestretching and pitch change
Is interesting but maybe not easy. I don't know a good free soft to do this with audio multichannel. Pending.

- switch for custom block size for flac encoder (required by lossywav)
Encoders have many parameters and eac3to can't manage all. When I need a special parameter for AC3 I use the 'pipe' method. BTW, madshi have the last decission.

- 4-channel FLAC is identified as FLAC 3/1, but the FLAC format specifies it to be 2/2.
I can't reproduce this. A 2/2 wav encoded to FLAC is recognized, and decoded, with eac3to like 2/2.

- An option to convert it to FLAC 3/2 would be nice.
Please suggest generic improvements, eac3to can't do all audio jobs.
