Does anyone know if this would work?
First, I've tried 5.1 headphones and they...well...suck. In contrast, I've used Dolby Headphone and I'm quite pleased with the result (at least in WinDVD). Unfortunately, the only Dolby Headphone device I've found requires a Dolby Digital stream. A quick search, however, has turned up an audio card that does realtime Dolby Digital encoding, but I'm not sure it'll be aware of the 6 discrtete channels that Vegas supports through ASIO. Any ideas on whether a card like that would work? Why do I wan't to take this route to 5.1? Because it seems like a reasonable way to mix without waking the neighborhood.
