As stated in the release notes :

NOTE: This release doesn't include DTS audio decoding support. DTS Inc.
claims that distributing this software with DTS decoding capabilities is
a violation of their patent EP 864 146. At DTS Inc. request, we decided,
as a precautionary measure, to provisionally suspend the distribution of
VLC with DTS decoding capabilities while reviewing DTS Inc. claim. This
is not an acknowledgement of the validity of the claim.

So, no, we cannot fix it at this time.
