The only issue with DTS files is that they are large ... and so not so good for online distribution. An advantage you get with DTS files is you can burn Audio CDs that are readily decodable by most DVD players I think VLC will play almost all of the well known 5.1-ish formats ... but it has to be downloaded and installed. AAC is supported in both the main OSes bundled browser .... Safari and IE9 + ... its easy to route channels to a soundcard in OSX ... but I'm not so sure about Windows + IE9 routing multi-channel AAC to a soundcard ... that's what I would like to hear about.
