Chion isn't a practitioner and can safety be ignored -- I've never been caught in the open not understanding someone because they were using GRM-theory-speak. I think he gets so much attention because he's the only person to ever write a book on film sound theory, but a lot of what he has to say is conjecture and personal preference.
The subjects in
LoBrutto have much more to say about film sound and its correspondence (or lack thereof) in language, and is much more descriptive, as opposed to prescriptive.
But everyone makes fun of me for referring to durations in feet, so whaddu I know?
