The only limitation of not using MLP would be that you can't have six
channels at 24/96. 
Why not? Flac + open DVD-audio format for N channels. 
 
 Do you know any DVD-A player that has a FLAC decoder built in ? 
Mabye KiSS will add it to their players.
  The DVD-A spec does not allow anything but MLP, or no
compression,
 so no manufacturer will ever make such a thing. 
Is there a way to play lossless multi-channel audio with DVD-Video
players? AFAIK most video players only play the first two PCM channels.
But DVD-Audio players should play multi-channel PCM audio from a video
DVD. Is there any reason not to produce a DVD-Video intead of DVD-Audio?
(What are the aditional features of DVD-Audio besides MLP?)
