AC3 / DTS decoding for Winamp

Does anyone know of good AC3 / DTS plugins for winamp?

I know about Valex's in_vac3.dll, but this one has a lot of sound quality issues (decode errors - compression artifacts).

Is there perhaps one that uses Intervideo's decoder?

If not, I guess I'll be writing one myself, but I'd rather save the effort and not have to reinvent the wheel unless I absolutely have to.

Thanks

Or you can just add ;AC3 to the DirectShow decoder and use whatever directshow decoders you have on the system.

winampac3.sourceforge.net = Valex's in_vac3.dll (the one i mentioned as having a buggy decoder.)

I tried adding ;AC3 to the directshow decoder but it wouldn't play at all anyway.

I made sure the decoder in my system is working with GraphEdit.

Filter graph consists of:

File Source (Async), pointed to a straight AC3 file
MPEG-2 Demultiplexer
Intervideo Audio Decoder
Default DirectSound Device

Plays perfectly.

Any way to get winamp to do this, short of writing my own plug-in? (which would be complicated - even if it's easy to get it to decode, how about seeking, knowing how long the file is, etc?)
