I'm sorry. I should have been more clear.  The way I've decided to
implement E-AC3 is as an extension to AC3, not as a separate codec.  So
it does indeed recognize the E-AC3 streams as valid, it's just that the
AC3 decoder you've chosen to configure FFmpeg for does not support that
extension.

I do realize that you want to use liba52 for the plain AC3 and
libavcodec for the E-AC3, but it won't work that way.  If you want to
decode E-AC3, do not use liba52.
