I may be wrong, but I would have thought that it would be an extra audio stream in the MPEG stream. I'm sure Mplayer would be able to play this alternative audio stream (a bit like multiple audio streams on DVDs), assuming you have the hardware to capture the MPEG streams (Freeview card or something). What programmes support it now? I've got the feature on my TV with integrated Freeview although every time I try it I just get silence (although it does say English Audio Descriptive as the language).
