DVDs created with mythtvburn have mp2 sound, and I've just recently
come to realize that the US DVD standard only supports ac3 sound. Most
cheap DVD players will play the mp2 sound dvds just fine, but some
older and more expensive players won't.

I think that, strictly speaking, DVD players are required to play mp2, but AC3 is the required audio. In other words, the only type of audio guaranteed in the DVD spec (if it *has* audio) will be AC3. Having *only* mp2 isn't part of the spec, but I've yet to run into a player that won't deal with it.
