 	I think that, strictly speaking, DVD players are required to play 
mp2, but AC3 is the required audio.  In other words, the only type of 
audio guaranteed in the DVD spec (if it *has* audio) will be AC3.  Having 
*only* mp2 isn't part of the spec, but I've yet to run into a player that 
won't deal with it.
