One stereo audio pair, OK.

Mixing 16 to 64 stereo pairs from arbitrary points on the hard drive
and writing the output further on spooks me somewhat - surely there's
going to be a lot of head-move-thrashing going on?  I've tried running
two MPEGs off the same CD, not a pretty sight...

Seems like AVI does better sound than MPEG, at the expense of
washed-out pixellated video - perhaps they split the bandwidth more in
favour of audio than MPEG?
