	I have heard about the structure of DVD-audio discs but I have not
seen them yet. Are these .AOB files? Per my understanding, DVD-audio uses
a highly proprietary compression format called Meridian Lossless Packing
(MLP) but I suppose it is possible to encode LPCM as well.

	I would like to see a sample. Can you upload a sample to the
MPlayer samples FTP? Do not upload a whole file. Take a 3-5 megabyte
excerpt using the 'dd' command:

  dd if=audiofile of=small-audiofile-sample bs=1024 count=4096

This will extract a 4 megabyte sample from the beginning of the file.
Upload the file specified by the 'of=' parameter to ftp.mplayerhq.hu in
the /MPlayer/incoming directory. Please include a small text file
describing what it is.

	Thanks...
