DVD-Audio has not yet established itself in the market; one is free to 
speculate on why and when (or if) they will. It is not a format as CD-DA 
is; it is a framework within a wide range of formats may be contained. 
Thus, it may be used for shorter programs in very high quality and/or 
multiple channels; for very long programs in modest quality in one or 
two channels; or something in between.
