I just download the "diatonis_dts_secret-universe.wav" file from
http://www.diatonis.com/downloads_dts_ac3.html and it played fine for
me with the latest FC5 mplayer build :

I'm not using spdif (I'm using a laptop), so I can't test any kind of
pass-through. Could you check if you can do "normal" decoding of the
file? Also, make sure you're using the latest available FC5 package, as
that seems like it could be the problem (if you're using FC3 or FC4 for
instance).
