ProLogic II isn't something an audio signal is encoded for, it's a way that a receiver can decode the same audio file and seperate the sound into 5.1 distinct channels of sound. You can use ProLogic on a TV audio signal if you want. I think hushypushy was talking about engineering the sound in games in a way that the end result from the ProLogic decoding is completely intentional, as opposed to the absolutely shitty sound you typically get from using ProLogic II on a stereo source - especially music.
