The text from that bug got weirdly truncated. Here's the most relevant comment
though:

Premixed audio descriptions for visually impaired + main dialogue, as required
by the recent FCC ruling
(http://transition.fcc.gov/Daily_Releases/Daily_Business/2011/db0825/FCC-11-126A1.pdf),
is specified in AC-3 audio used in MPEG-2 TS. This spec
(http://www.atsc.org/cms/standards/a_52-2010.pdf) defines how the presence of
this pre-mixed audio track is signaled: in the AC-3 bit stream information
syntax (section 5.3.2) field bsmod = 2 signals the visually impaired audio
stream (see Table 5.7 in section 5.4.2.2) and in the AC-3 descriptor field
full_svc = 1 signals a full audio service (section A4.3), meaning the track
includes the main dialogue audio.
This standard is adhered to in North American broadcast channels. These AC-3
signals could also exist when these channels are redistributed over IP.
