no, it wouldn't
satellite and cable companies broadcast using some sorta "lossy" data compression on their streams...in regards to this particular torrent it looks like its 2-channel AC3
now just because someone captures the video and decides to author the audio stream as LPCM doesn't actually make it "lossless" [just a bloated file - it's like taking an mp3 and making it flac, yes its now flac but its still lossy]
we allow lossy compressions as part of a video [due to current broadcast standards, or lack thereof], but we do not allow lossy compressed audio in our audio forums...so neither audio would be allowed to be seeded, despite the fact that other torrent was authored using LPCM
[hope that answers yer question, early and i'm on my first cup of coffee]
