Thank you for this advice (I was aware of that, but still thanks :)
Now I have mplayer (linked as "mplayerdts", "dts" and "gmplayer") which is the
DTS-capable one 
and mplayerape linked as "ape"
it's even faster to write "ape *.ape" or "dts *.wav" 
but i would like to have "super-ape-dts-capable" one ;)
