If there is "Dialog normalization" going on, TrueHD is messing up the audio tracks. I don't understand why Dolby needs to screw around with the master audio tape content during the encoding process.

I can understand the need for TrueHD track to save on space, but I fail to see why you would want both a TrueHD and an uncompressed PCM track on the same disc unless you like to "A/B" audio tracks. Or there is some subtlety with HDMI I haven't bothered to read.
