So I could concievably create an .avi that has both the 5.1 and 2.0 autio
programs in it.  This is workable, but not optimal (I'd rather not increase
the file size by storing multiple audio programs, especially when I know
that liba52 can play the 5.1 program just fine -- just not in MPlayer.)
How do the rest of you with 2-speaker setups play files with AC3 5.1
tracks?

Thanks.
