Will be Audio DirectStream processing available to Avisynth?

[3ngel]

Hi,
i think, it's a real pity Avisynth lacks the capacity to keep intact the audio stream when importing say an Ac3 video to Virtual Dub.
In other words i think it would be a great thing to open an Ac3 avi file with DirectShowSource, processing it and then import into virtuadub preserving the ac3 (not the decompressed PCM as now), in order to do cut and join flawlessy (at the moment the only way is to demux ac3, cut it separately and then rejoin and is a real pain...) .
I hope this feature will be available soon? :)
Thanks

... in order to do cut and join flawlessy (at the moment the only way is to demux ac3, cut it separately and then rejoin and is a real pain...) .Now there is the rub, given an arbitary bit stream, probably vbr in nature, very likely with some intrinsic framing construct. Knowing how to successfully trim it. This will not be a trivial project.
