[SurroundSound] Re: Some of the data is found in WAV format - how to convert to CD/DVD?

You're probably going to have to take a short walk on the "dark side"
for Windows, some of the more advanced converters (such as eac3to)
rely on DirectShow filters, etc.

If these WAV files contain DTS, you can just burn them directly to CD
Audio disc and your DVD player will play it.

If they are anything else (including the FLAC files you mentioned)
then, assuming your DVD player doesn't play random media burned to a
disc (it's worthwhile to try first to see what it supports if
anything), then you'd need to author a new disc.

From there it depends on what your DVD player supports. In order of
desirability:

- Author for DVD-A (MLP). If your player supports DVD-Audio. I think
Discwelder Chrome is the preferred tool. I think DVD-A can also play
raw WAVs but there are limits (i.e. might not be able to do certain
sampling rates or multichannel).
- Author for DTS CD. You'll have to resample to 44.1kHz before
encoding. There is 96/24 DTS on DVD-V but I don't know if we can get
the tools as easily.

Not sure how much of this you're going to be able to do strictly with
Linux.
