This contradicts later developments on the interpretation of
DTS,
particularly the fact that DTS must match the codec's
definition of
DTS. For codecs that need a concept of DTS but don't define
one, a
supplemental spec must be made. Supplemental specs are
already needed
for certain broken codecs, like the Xiph family of codecs,
which do
not conform to any sane sense of global headers.
