DTS support code was inspired by xine, theyr source is the only reference i 
could find. vdr is generating the exact same frames as they do. The DVB card 
however, is not able to set a certain bit in the frame header that is 
apparently required by some receivers.

I have reports on some receivers working with DD and DTS, and some with DD but 
not DTS. Without further information, i see not chance to improve DD and DTS 
support.

You just have to get a soundcard with SPDIF out.

Sorry,
