i've had some rather traumatic experiences with dvd-audio that have led 
me to believe that it doesn't really work in practice. the way i see it, 
i've got a significantly higher probability that $RANDOM_USER will be 
able to play a 5.1 audio file correctly than to have a dvd-audio capable 
player that will not fsck up the navigation, play the tracks in the 
right order and not do other unspeakable things (such as producing dirac 
pulses every 3 minutes - yeah i've seen it, and it was a hi-end product, 
and no, we used the analog outs).
