Is AC3 the DVD > standard (I didn't think so...)? I'm not really a home theater expert, but the DVD standard is AC3 which is also known as DD. DTS is an older, less common format. So you should be able to play DVDs in surround. I'm not sure why the other file didn't work. It looks like mplayer tried and failed to guess the file type? I *think* that if AC3 passthrough works then DTS must work - it's just a matter of setting a non-audio bit on the stream.
