I'm trying to rip a DVD and keep the AC3 stream, and I'm getting
really strange results: whatever I do, I can't get 6 channels.
I investigated and boiled down the problem to the simple test here:
# tcprobe -H 10 -i /dev/dvd -T 3
libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.8 for DVD access
[tcprobe] DVD image/device
libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.8 for DVD access

Note "ac3 en drc 48kHz 6Ch" - that's what I want. But next is "audio
track: -a 0 [0] -e 48000,16,2 [48000,16,2]" - that's 2 channels, not
6. Mplayer agrees:
# mplayer dvd://3

Whatever I rip from this DVD ends up with 2 channels. So where are my
6 channels?!
