I'm going to have a crack at extracting my original wav recording and turn it into a 5.1 or at least a surround track in vegas.

I've seen the guides on the forum here but a question occured to me.

when I originally recorded the sound in virtualdub_sync, I recorded it as a straight 48khz 16 bit stereo wav file. as per the offered choices on vdub.

at the time I ignored all other options, but looking at vdub today, (two years after the capture was made)I notice further down now that there is the option for PCM. as I recorded wav stereo, would this suggest that there is nothing for me to extract to make it a surround track, or would it still be embedded in there somewhere?

when I pipe it through my speakers and select and surround 2.0 dolby pro logic I do get some rear surrounds. is that the PCM at work? am I right in assuming that PCM info is embedded in stereo tracks or would I have to rerecord the audio?
