Wow, Hitchhikers guide in 5.1 Streaming Audio

Everyone knows I guess that the new [Hitchhikers Guide is on Radio 4](http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/hitchhikers/index.shtml?rhpimage), what I just noticed (and am listening to right now) is that the [WMP](http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/hitchhikers/media/hitchhikers_episode1.asx) and [Real](http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/hitchhikers/media/hitchhikers_episode1.ram) streams are in 5.1 surround! Fantastic sound quality and (slightly excessive) surround effects aplenty!
