How to play Matroska file with AC3/DTS?

Which codec(s) plays Matroska AC3 and DTS sound streams?

I was so glad when I see that Matroska file can hold AC3 and DTS audio streams.
I've made .mkv with AC3 stream using VirtualDubMod.
But when I try to play .mkv using The Core Media Player (v 4.0 RC5) I have a trouble. It was only 2 sound channels (front) as I can see on my sound card M-Audio Revolution control panel.
(The original DVD track and .ac3 file sounds OK with Power DVD player).

I've see that another DVD player WinDVD plays .ac3 file in the same manner and deinstall it.
After that The Core Media Player can't open .mkv with message:
"> Íå óäàåòñÿ íàéòè êîìáèíàöèþ ôèëüòðîâ äëÿ ïðîñìîòðà ïîòîêà."
(can't find filters combination)
The same message appears when I play another .mkv with DTS stream.
Anoter decoder I've tried - AC3Filter ver.0.70b.

Which codec(s) can I use?

I use iviaudio.ax from Intervideo WinDVD Platinum. It decodes both AC3 and DTS.

(it does support ac3 in matroska internally , not sure about dts.)

MPC seems to support DTS internally now through dtsdec
