Well, advanced surround sound with 6 channels is a good example. And when the Tarkin (and/or DivX/VP3/other) video-codec is ready for use and integrated into OGG, you can have channels for many different languages in the same file... Or you could vorbize (or is that vorbisize?) your multichannel studiorecording with separate channels for bassdrum, snaredrum, cymbals, leadguitar, compguitar, leadvocals, backingvocals, bass, effects and so on...
