Yes, corrected it.

It's not so bad. Look, if this wasn't a DTS-HD track, both the 5.1 channels and also the XXCh extension would be in the core. In that case the XXCh extension would eat away bitrate from the 5.1 channels. In other words: The 5.1 channels wouldn't have full 1536Kbps. Instead you would maybe have 1200Kbps or something like that for 5.1 and the rest for the additional channels. But thanks to DTS-HD the XXCh extension could be moved to the DTS-HD block, so the full bitrate of the core could be spent on 5.1. So you should have a really good sounding 5.1 core.
