DVD-Audio discs work just fine. They're designed to be played by DVD-Video drives, so software such as CyberLink PowerDVD, which I have on a couple of machines, just pops up and one can play either the Dolby Digital or DTS audio.

As has already been mentioned, software is here (more coming) that'll allow playback of the DVD-A portion too, depending on the resolution of your soundcard. Apparently, there is nothing to prevent any PC DVD drive accessing the DVD-A content - you can see the files in Explorer - it's just a matter of software.
