John, it's true that Universal haven't so far wasted space with DTS (regardless of the DTS vs. Dolby debate it offers nothing that MLP can't do, only better), sorry to imply otherwise, but Jimby wrote:

"Dual Disc is marketed as having a lot of extra video content in addition to surround sound. Cutting videos is not an option, and the space that would be gained is usually not significant enough to make a huge difference."

That extra content, especially if it's video content, is sooner or later going to involve the likes of DTS. Incidentally, the idea that cutting videos doesn't save enough space to make a "huge difference" is nonsense, but that's not the issue here.

The concern is that DualDisc is going to be aimed at the masses, in which case everything but the kitchen sink is going to be on the DVD side and that means our precious high-resolution audio will suffer because nobody listens to DVD-Audio anyway, right?

With Universal being firmly behind SACD, it seems logical to assume they'll compromise their DualDisc releases and only present the "best" version of the audio on SACD.
