If you follow the ac3-sound thread - that will be the solution soon for 
ac3-carring channels, theoretically it should be possible to send normal data 
the same way (with some modifications).

To get at least "pseudo-dolby" i mute the audio-channel where the dvb is 
connected and use it as input source.

Then in principle a

cat </dev/dsp >/dev/dsp 

does the trick with alsa, but you better find a way to set 44kHz and 16bit 
stereo then...think that is called the "AC97 PCM output path" or so.
My experience is, that it sounds much better but you have to carefully
adjust the front/rear balance for every movie.
