One solution is to use ac3jack (
http://essej.net/ac3jack )
which encodes AC3 from multichannel jack inputs. It uses the ffmpeg
library to do the encoding right now which *can* do multichannel. The
quality is average, probably not comparable to what you get out of
commercial encoders and what you hear on hollywood DVDs.

Hi!
Is it possible in any way to create surround sound in AC3 or DTS
format for use with DVD-Video in linux? A lot of googling suggests
that it's impossible, is that really so? Perhaps there is an encoder
that runs with wine? I read on a page that ffmpeg can encode AC3, but
only in stereo.
