While adding stereo rematrixing, I came across something that needs to be fixed even without adding the feature. The output correctly uses 4 dummy values for the rematrixing flags in block-0, but the bit allocation routine does not take these bits into account. From what I can tell, there was a patch in 2003 that corrected the output to make it DVD and spec compatible, but it didn't correct the bit allocation. It's only 4 bits over the entire 6 blocks, so overflow errors would happen rarely or never, but it's still worth fixing. So here is a fix. patch by (Justin Ruggles {jruggle earthlink net)
