.B ichan 
provides multichannel signal processing by demultiplexing its standard
input, feeding each channel (through pipes) to one of several monophonic 
processing pipelines which run as parallel processes. 
.PP
Unlike 
.I chan, 
.B ichan 
does not remultiplex and produce any output.

takes the output of cmusic, separates the 2 channels, applies 
"peak" to each channel, which produces two reports in parallel.
