OK if Dolby Digital == AC3, then we already have an AC3 decoder 
(based on liba52). The only problem is that the six-channel output is 
downmixed to get a stereo stream. We would just need to send the six 
channels to the appropriate sound device. It has been on our TODO 
list for months, but we're running out of time...
