you mean 5.1 with downmixing to stereo or true 5.1 ?

the downmixing should be done before the imdct, that way you dont need to
do the imdct on 6 channels but rather just on 2 (i didnt check where the
downmix is done exactly but its just IIRC ...)

hmm for(){}while(); ?

and patch looks ok

There will always be a question for which you do not know the correct awnser.
