Well DTS is not much better than 0x2001.  But wait grep -r -i DTS gives
some stuff in ad_hwac3.c, but I don't have a hardware decoder.  Also
gives "./DOCS/tech/wishlist: * dts support", so it look like I'm out of
luck with mplayer.

Google finds http://www.videolan.org/dtsdec.html, which is used by
vlc.  It has an interface the same as liba52 and looks easy to code
into mplayer.  I had a try but got stuck with integrating the
configure stuff.  Does anybody know if there are plans to include this
code into mplayer.  I might have another go in a couple of weeks when
I have more time.

Thanks for your help
