        extract_ac3 (and ac3dec) are both obsolete.

        They were repalced with extract_a52 and a52dec respectively.  Those
        are part of the 'liba52' project at Sourceforge and can be found
        at:

        It's been a long time since I used ac3dec but a52dec 

a52dec -h
a52dec-0.7.5-cvs - by Michel Lespinasse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and Aaron Holtzman
usage: a52dec [-h] [-o <mode>] [-s [<track>]] [-t <pid>] [-c] [-r] [-a] \
                [-g <gain>] <file>
        -h      display help and available audio output modes
        -s      use program stream demultiplexer, track 0-7 or 0x80-0x87

        -r      disable dynamic range compression

                        null6
                        float

        something like 

        a52dec -s -o wav input.ac3 > output.wav

        works here.   The usage() summary seems to indicate that "-s" takes
        an argument but when I tried "-s 0" it complained "no such file 0"

        Cheers,
