Probably not.
If there is one, it must use an encryption circumvention scheme to work
around the CPPM encryption algorithm.
There's also the issue of the Meridian Lossless Packing (MLP) codec used
by DVD-Audio; i'm not sure if there is an open source implementation of
it yet.

I've heard that there is some work underway to make xine play non-CPPM
(non-encrypted) MLP streams. But only take it as an unconfirmed rumour.

Probably someone on their mailing lists might have a more competent
answer.
