To help those that are unfamiliar with it...here is an excerpt from Sonic's White Paper on DVD Audio:
...
It would allow us to recreate the originally intended 2 channel downmix for the DVD-Audio discs that have room only for 5.1.  Apparently they are stored in a table with the audio.  I don't know if the tables are at the file level or embedded somehow into the MLP stream.  Hope this helps clarify the question.

But which discs make use of this feature?


Here is a quickly compiled list of ones that I know of so far...

Blue Oyster Cult - A Long Day's Night(2002)(2002)(Silverline 288128-9)
Bobby Womack - Soul Sensation Live(1998)(Silverline 288066-9)(2002)
Jimmy Witherspoon - The Blues The Whole Blues And Nothing But The Blues(2002)(Silverline288137-9)
Joey Ramone - Don't Worry About Me(2002)(Silverline 284562-2)
Mendelssohn - Classical Masters Series(Silverline 86030-9)(2001)
Mozart Gaede Trio Series Volume VIII (Piano Quartets)(Tacet 116DVDA)
Shostakovich - Symphonies No5 and 6(Arts 45001-6)(2003)
T-Bone Walker - Back On The Scene(1966)(Silverline 288135-9)(2002)
Tchaikovsky - 1812 Overture(Kunzel-Cincinatti Pops)(Telarc DVDA-70541)
Various Artsits - Brazilian Bossa(2001)(DTS Entertainment 69286-01084-9-3)
Beatles - Love
Bela Fleck - The Blugrass Sessions-Tales From The Acoustic Planet vol 2
Emerson Lake And Palmer - Brain Salad Surgery
John Lee Hooker - Hooker & The Hogs
Lee Ritenour And Dave Grusin - Two Worlds(2000)(Decca 467132)
Queen - The Game

I did not have time to check for typographical errors.  Aside from any errors I made in the list, those should all have no stereo mix in DVDAExplorer....only 5.1 mixes.  If they are played on any DVD-Audio Spec player into stereo..they will downmix using the producers preset tables per track in order to stream stereo.
Sorry if there are any errors, I compiled this list kind of quickly.

I can verify that Beatles - LOVE does not have a stereo track, only 24/96 5.1.

Kinda strange though, since technically there was enough space left on the disc for a MLP stereo version.

Maybe that's because the DVD-Video part has a 16-bit/48 kHz LPCM stereo mix.

I've been able to rip a 24/96 WAV of the 5.1 mix, but I'd like to take the 5.1 down to 2 channel stereo WAV while maintaining the 24/96 resolution.  I've read about downmixing or folding-down, but is there an application that I can use to do this?  I've searched but been unable to locate anything like this.
