Pierre,

OK, I've cleaned the code up and it works really well now (for my 
purposes).  It's really efficient with processing DTS files, I haven't 
profiled Ac3 yet.  I've rolled it into my copy of xbmc and all seems to 
be working really well.  I'll be putting patches for xbmc up as well as 
soon as I've prep'd them.

You could do me a favor if you would complete sink_pulse.{cpp,h}.  I've 
been working on other things and that's really on the back burner for 
me.  Once the SinkPulse is done, we'll be able to play raw DTS/AC3 files 
pretty much the same way paplay does for other formats.  At some point 
we might even want to roll AudioFilter into paplay.

I renamed Ac3Filter to AudioFilter.  It really does a bunch more than 
just Ac3 and I've renamed interfaces, etc.

I'm still renaming files and moving the around a bit, but the headers 
should be pretty stable.

I'll probably put the code in a git repository once I've got the file 
renaming out of the way.
