Please help me with this Blu-Ray audio playback issue

[jbman]

Here is my setup:
linux 64 bit amd duo core, video vdpau with 9500 nvidia card 1gb ram on it. Video is perfect, but I have major audio problems.

I have tried some that work perfectly, others that don't have english audio track.
working: Ratatoiulle, Dark Knight
English audio missing: ICE AGE, WANTED, 21

I cycle through available audio files, and get several foreign audio options, and usually a directors commentary, but no english movie audio is found.

using svn mplayer, ffmeg.....
use mplayer -vo vdpau

if I do an ffmpeg -i x.m2ts, on 21 it shows a gap which I can't figure out
0x1102
0x1104
0x1105

I use dumphd and aacskeys to get the .m2ts files, then typically try to play the large file using mplayer.

Has anybody else seen this and know how to fix it, or where to look further at the problem?

Thanks a ton.

What audio formats are on the discs that don't work? My bet is that the primary English track is DTS-HD MA or TrueHD, and you player doesn't recognize that audio format and is only allowing the 2nd (and subsequent) streams to be selected. I've had that problem playing M2TS files before, the lossless tracks don't even show up as options, and they just default to the second track (sometimes a commentary, usually foreign audio...)

I was not aware of the format for audio potentially creating this problem, but seems like it could be. I use mplayer to play the .m2ts file. How did you overcome the issue, did you switch players, or find a different way to extract the audio and merge it back together with the video? I am betting I will have to do something of this nature, likely switch to windows tools or another player for linux. I am not aware of others having this problem, but I guess it's just not talked about or brought up. It's really annoying though.
