Ah, OK.

Yup, PCM.

It's 9.6Mb/s, not MB/s (mea culpa), but 4x24/96 will fit.
Also its M = 10^6, not 2^20

The max is 24/192, and you can get 2 channels of that.

Aparently the audio goes in the AUDIO_TS directory, but I dont have a DVD-A
player to experiment with, and I dont know what header/format.filenames
the PCM files have. I wonder if DVD-A players are cheap yet...
