(1) I used mkvextract to extract to an 6channel.aac file
(2) I used FAAD2 to convert to aac file to 6channel.wav
(3) I used besplit to get 6 mono wav files
(4) Used WinHex to alter the $20 byte from 06 to 02.
(5) Loaded the 6 files in the order of 1,3,2,5,6,4 into softencode and produced an ac3 file that plays fine.

My mistake was in WinHex, I changed the 06 to 01 last time instead of 02, Doh!

SAKUYA, when you select 48000 in the encode option of softencode, DO NOT check the AUTO option. Auto will read the value from the first wav file and reset itself (likely 44100).

I was having an issue with the aac file...inside the MKV, it played fine, but when I tried to play just the aac audio after extraction, it wouldn't play, although the 6channel wav file did! Odd...
