General questions on mp3 Surround, mp3 SX, and mp3D

Does mp3 Surround support surround configurations other than the 5.1-channel setup?

Yes, although the Fraunhofer IIS mp3 Surround Evaluation Software V3 is limited to a 5.1-channel configuration. Future versions of mp3 Surround encoders and decoders could support other configurations as well (e.g. 7.1 or 10.2). There is no limit for the number of channels that can be supported.
