lol...
No, sorry.
Now, if you'll kindly turn in your [H] card...
This! Youtube does not have 5.1.. only some dvds/bluray/etc have it and 5.1 specific music.. < I could be a bit wrong though.

In that case is there a way to simply duplicate the 2 channel stereo and output to the other channels?
No, it's not.
It's just something YouTube does to help save HD space.
GameTrailers has some decent HD trailers (not sure on the audio), every once in a while.
To get 5.1 discrete audio channels you would need to encode the audio with Dolby Digital or DTS. Not to mention the source would have had to of been recorded and mixed for 5.1 discrete channels of audio.
Currently, flash video sites all use either 2 channel MP3 or AAC.

Some games have used audio pre-mixed for 5.1. Doom 3, for instance.This! Youtube does not have 5.1.. only some dvds/bluray/etc have it and 5.1 specific music..

You can use whatever format you want.. those two aren't your only choices.To get 5.1 discrete audio channels you would need to encode the audio with Dolby Digital or DTS.
Maybe the big ones, but definitely not all.Currently, flash video sites all use either 2 channel MP3 or AAC.

You have never heard the term "for all intents and purposes" have you?

Flash doesn't allow for 5.1 channel discrete audio by itself. If you have a sound card that can upmix stereo sources to 5.1 (DTS Neo, Dolby Digital Live), then yes, you can have 5.1 channel sound, but it's not true discrete audio - just upmixed stereo.
