I have been playing around with the construction of multichannel (6 channels) WAV and WMA files in the new Adobe Audition 3 and just for the heck of it I decided to import a few to Vegas to see what happens.

Vegas reads them just fine. They import just like an AC3 file... even the LFE track shows up! I don't know about others, but this is a new one on me. I guess I sort of assumed you could only import stereo wav files.

Polyphonic wave files were asked for for a long time, more specifically Broadcast Wave Files (BWF) so yes indeed we now have them and they are one of the best new additions to Vegas.
Vegas can read and write multitrack / polyphonic wav files. It can read and sync BWF to TC but not write them.

I haven't tried this but I also believe you can create an avi file with more than one stereo pair.

Yes, Vegas does import multichannel files. I bring broadcast wave 6-channel interleaved files in from Nuendo for encoding - Vegas just splits them to separate tracks.

I do wish Vegas supported multichannel tracks, busses and outputs though, so I didn't have to configure and manage 6 tracks.
