Well, I would rather say really far future as there are currently _zero_ 
specs available on the DTS format. That means it would have to be reverse 
engineered from scratch, and even though this format as been available for 
quite some time, nobody has yet dared to work on this...

One solution though would be to make a bypass plugin for DTS audio so it 
could be possible to plug an external DTS decoder to the SPDIF output of 
your soundcard. This is already available for AC3 audio in VLC but would 
require some work to support DTS.
