But I just placed an order since this is one movie I really want to see.

Well HD DVD only supports Dolby Digital 5.1 up to 448kbps
In any case, yes we should have lossless audio from the masters on movies when possible, but if they decided to make it a single layer release and used DD and gave us an excellent picture I'd prefer that to having the better audio and a compromised picture. The picture in the disc is hard sharp I can see a difference between it and the deleted scenes which are also on HD but in a different, lesser encode. I would not have liked the movie to look for example like that if that came from the inclusion of a bigger audio file then. In any case the Black Snake Moan electric guitar + voice song sounded chillingly realistic and intimate as it is right now.
