is not.

Surround EX Mode

This parameter is used to identify the encoded audio as Surround EX

encoded

material. This parameter is only used if the encoded audio has two surround channels.
An amplifier or receiver with Dolby Digital Surround EX decoding can use this
parameter as a flag to switch the decoding on or off automatically. The behavior is
similar to the Dolby Surround Mode parameter.
