Sure, crappy Scene rips use AC3, but not everyone downloads crappy Scene rips.

I have seen rips with FLAC audio, recompressed from DTS-HD or LPCM.  Examples:

Blood.Diamond.2006.BluRay.1080p.x264.DTS.FLAC.5.1-Crow
Memories.1995.Blu-ray.1080p.AC3.FLAC.x264-sJR
Sigur R?s Heima 2007 1080i MPEG2 DTS5.1 FLAC2.0-Xorp
Underworld Evolution BDrip 1080p MPEG2 FLAC 5.1 MKV
House Of Flying Daggers BDrip 1080p MPEG2 FLAC 5.1 MKV
