sbiddle: I'm about having content in the format it's encoded with - in this case a stereo feed delivered in stereo using L+R channels.
IMHO your logic is akin to those people who watch 4:3 TV on a 16:9 TV in fatovision just because they want to fill the whole screen.
What a fatuous comparison! I want to make the audio MORE believable/appropriate/realistic by better linking moving image and sound. Mr Fatovision wants to FALSIFY his image by completely changing its ratio. There is no way such a person could argue their case rationally.
My preference for dialogue to be directed in such a manner so as to ensure it appropriately matches the moving image of the dialogue's source is based on a reasoned position of finding a disconnect between the two artificial and disconcerting. Whereas the idiot who insists on watching 3:4 stretched on a 16:9 TV (such as my brother-in-law) is simply wanting to use their full real estate, without any rational consideration of what it does to the picture.
From my perspective, the pursuit of supposed audio purity in this situation, at the expense of presenting a believable connection between image and sound, is far too down the AR road for my liking. Then again, as I mentioned earlier, let's just accept we have different but reasoned arguments for our positions, rather than making inferences of idiocy!
