I'd say of course... you'd need to decode that in order to play
it on anything but an A/V receiver supporting those formats (or
possibly one of the few -expensive- sound cards able to decode
it in hardware themselves).

are you using straight hw?
If the card is supporting different rates, have you set
the proper rate via alsamixer before playing?
If you did, it is possible that the (patched) driver isn't
(yet) able to allow you to set the card rate properly and
need some more work. Same goes if you do not even see some
switch to set the rates on alsamixer.
In any case, the simplest thing to get some "right" sound
out of anything is to use plughw instead.
That way ALSA will take care of any required resampling,
mixing, format conversion, etc.
(well, just about everything but dts/ac3 decoding... you
should "tell" mplayer, xine, gstreamer or whatever player
you use to do it if you need that).
