1) LPCM is audio uncompressed then is better than any lossy format (DTS, AC3, ...)

2) You can upmix stereo to 5.1, read Sticky: GUIDE LIST: Stereo-to-Surround Conversion Guides (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=83752), but I don't recommend that, if you have a 5.1 audio system maybe you have DSP functions to convert stereo to surround at play time.

3) Yes you can convert it to ac3, but there are better choices: FLAC for lossless conversion (you can recover the original uncompressed audio) or AAC like recommended lossy (youn can't recover the original audio exactly) format.
