Exactly. DVD-A is not just the standard audio soundtrack that accompanies video on a regular DVD; it's a special format that was introduced in about 2000 to support high-resolution, 5.1 audio mixes intended for audiophiles. It never really took off in the marketplace.
Most DVD-A discs will play in a standard DVD-Video player and just use a "movie standard" 5.1 mix like Dolby Digital.
I have a handful of discs and a home DVD player that supports DVD-A - hope the player lasts for a while as it's going to be difficult to find another one.
