Yes, I think it is very important that Joe user doesn't run into trouble
with that. I saw a post where Reimar mentioned that using -ac ffdca helps,
and that worked for me once I tried. If the channels downmixing
capabilities of ffmpeg aren't ready soon enough (whatever that means),
maybe making ffdca default for dts playback would help in the meantime.
