[dvd::rip] AC3 problem, after pass through in avi 2 channels only

Hello there.

First of all, thanx goes to the creators of dvd::rip. I switched to
linux about 3 months ago and was looking for some tool for dvdriping.
I used FairUse Wizard on windows before. And then I ran into
linuxappfinder.com's article about DVDripers and found out about
dvd::rip.

I was experimenting with it for an while, trying to master it enough
to be able to create descent backups of my DVDs. I have a HTPC box and
it's much more useful to have my favourite movies uploaded on HDD.

Problem no. 1: sometimes I have difficulties with subtitles, dvd::rip
recognizes available languages, but it's shifted, some languages are
not under it's language code. And sometimes I can't find certain
subtitles at all.

Problem no. 2: I was experimenting with right codec options and I
found out that there is something wrong with AC3 pass through option.
Source audio track has 6Ch but after transcoding, I have only 2
channels in my avi.

Some specs:

I'm running SuSE Linux 10.1 x64
dvdrip --version: 0.98.1
transcode --version: v1.0.2
tcprobe output of transcoded avi:

[tcprobe] RIFF data, AVI video

          length: 1499 frames, frame_time=40 msec, duration=0:00:59.960


Anyone can help me with this  ?
