Thanks again. I have achieved a degree of success although I am not
sure if I am going about this the long way. Still using -x null,dvd as
I assume I need the dvd import module? Anyway success from:

transcode -x null,dvd -i /dev/dvd -T 1,3,1 -a 0 -N 0x2000 \
-y null,tcaud -m $HOME/Desktop/test.ac3

Any suggestions or corrections to the above?
