Dolby AC-4 decoding support?

It seems as though vlc player and mpc-be do not support Dolby AC-4. From reading Dolby's own website (https://dolbyac4.com/uk/) it appears that U.K free-to-air satellite platform 'Freesat' has picked AC-4 as the exclusive next gen audio format for their 3rd generation satellite boxes that will be released this year. Therefore AC-4 broadcasts will likely happen this year not just a trial. It would be nice if FFmpeg/vlc/mpc-be added support to decode this audio codec. Does anyone know if work is being done in any of these to add support?
