I would guess there's gonna be a lot more mixing to surround sound in
the not too distant future. MP3 players incorporating headphones with
surround sound are bound to push the market that way.
Is it fun to mix to Surround sound?

Hope you are right about that. Mapping surround to binaural
is fairly trivial if you have the DSP HzPower and that's
getting cheap enough now to make putting surround in 'phone
outputs a common feature. That could well drive the
surround market now that multi-channel MP3 is a reality.

It's a lot easier to map surround in any of it's various
encodings to binaural than to a typical listening room. :-)
