That is actually very good to know. I don't have access to a DD encoder. I would not be opposed to changing the defaults if that's what users would prefer. What are the other cutoffs for different bit rates and channel layouts?
edit: also, could you provide some small snippets of the DD-encoded files so that I can see what encoding features and params they use to get the better PEAQ and SNR values?
