It makes me wonder how much space is really taken up by the extra sound requirements when games like Twilight Princess fit on 1.5GB discs (maybe 3GB, dunno much about GC dual layers)

Does anyone know how big a standard 7.1 uncompressed music track is (about) for comparison.

 

the reason that twilight princess could fit on 1.5 gb of disk space is because it does not contain any HD resolution sized textures( [plus its levels shared a ton of resources as well).  The higher the resolution the greater the texture compacity is, there also was not a lot of cut scenes that required a ton of dialog on zelda either.  That is why that game (though a very great game) only took up such small disk space, oh and no lossless audio uncompressed either (and no 5.1 compressed lossy audio either).
