just got chance to try the iso on one of my other machines and the audio
is fine there.  very odd.  the audio has always been fine when playing 
other videos on the first computer with mplayer.

I wonder if the if the alsa driver on the first machine has an issue
with the high audio bitrate.  I must admit I play lots of downloaded
videos but can't recall playing any dvd iso before and it lacks a dvd
drive.

when I have access to the first machine again I'll try adding a filter
to remix to a lower bitrate and see if the audio becomes clear after
that.
