This only applies to Blu-ray streams. You can also encode pure EAC3, which is used in broadcast in some countries, and probably various other sources as well (streaming, I guess?).
The specification of EAC3 technically includes a method for converting EAC3 to AC3 (for legacy SPDIF transmission), however I do not know if any software implements that.
