Ian,
With the exception of the first EMI released titles, I'm able to switch between presentations (Stereo / Surround) on all of my discs without a TV.
In addition, the latest 5 or so titles from WB are authored such that the AUDIO button toggles between presentations.
Further, correctly authored, a DVD-A disc will begin play after about 15 seconds.
The 1.1 spec of DVD-Audio further addresses usability and includes some of the features WB is already including in their titles.
Big issues with either High-Res format? Lack of standardized digital output so that it can be treated as JADS (Just Another Digital Source). Then again, SACD can't be treated as JADS anyway at this time.
