Summary0008279: MM cannot play WAVs with DTS/AC3 sound properly, even with AC3Filter installed.
DescriptionIf user installs AC3Filter, WMP can play WAV files with DTS/AC3 sound, but MM cannot (it gives only noise). It is because those files have mostly set WAVE_FORMAT_PCM in the WAVEfmt header and MM does not play them using DirectShow then, plays them as uncompressed audio. It probably should be fixable by some better format detection.

There is no easy fix, it does not work even with better format detection, because even DirectShow is playing DTS stream as uncompressed PCM and we have no way how to affect it now, the files have wrong format indicator. The only way is to rewrite the DS streaming code completely, use other interfaces and objects, SampleGrabber, and create and control DS graph more manually.
We cannot decode it natively because of Dolby Digital licensing.

Note:
I have tried to play Jare DTS CD ripped in WAV using AC3 Plugin I uploaded to http://www.happymonkeying.com/plugin.php?q=300087 and only thing I have done is to rename WAV to AC3 file played flawlessly
