:To use the CD name and logo a disc must comply with the CD Red Book standards

If thats the case neither CD-ROMs nor VideoCD would be allowed to be called CDs.. Dont confuse things, A CD can be a CD even if it's not a CD-DA!

: The reason why we will not see DD5.1 audio discs is that the future of music on disc lies with DVD-Audio

There are music recordings in DD5.1 widely available, but only on DVD-Video. A normal CD-player can't pass DD5.1 bitstream thru since it doesn't recognize the format.

DTS-CDs however are formatted like Audio-CD (Red Book) even though they contain the DTS bitstream instead of the PCM bitstream. This way they can be played in a regular CD-player with digital out and a DTS decoder (You will only get noise from the CDs internal D/A however..)
