BASS_AC3 is an extension to the BASS audio library, enabling the playback of AC-3 streams. AC-3, often referred to as Dolby Digital, is Dolby's third digital audio coding technology based on a perceptual coding method. It is more advanced than AC-2 and delivers up to 5.1 discrete channels of surround sound in less space than stereo PCM.

The AC-3 format is used in the same way as any of the built-in BASS stream formats. Simply call BASS_PluginLoad(String) to load the add-on into BASS and benefit the usage of the standard sample/stream/URL/user functions, or call the BASS_AC3_StreamCreateFile(String, Int64, Int64, BASSFlag) /URL/User functions.
