Hello,

you can always send in patches. However, like with most open source projects is 
there nobody here who waits for somebody to make a request, but only for people 
to send in patches, if this is what you were hoping for.

I'm personally not impressed by Atmos. It took Dolby how long to include the 
ceiling to the surround sound directions?! And they still haven't added the 
floor yet? And they want licensing fees for it? Seems fair to say the industry 
is now only trying to sell you more speakers and its starting to get a bit too 
obvious.
