Real DVD-Audio discs are something totally different from DVD-Video
discs.  Of the two directories on all DVDs VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS, the
first contains all the DVD-Video matterial and the second the
DVD-Audio parts.  There is little or no information regarding how to
decode the DVD-Audio parts as far as I know.  Though I belive there are
a few different formats to select from there also.  Some information
about the information/navigation parts are available in DVD Demystified
but I haven't look into it much.
So _if_ they contain a  supported adudio format the we could possibly
play just the aduio without text/lyric/information/pictures.

I know next to nothing about SACDs, do they also have picture/text data
on them?  Are there even any computer drives that can read SACDs?
