Default High Definition Audio.

Without starting a debate about whether HD audio is really needed, would
anyone here like to attempt a prediction of the likely sound carrier of
the future?
I'm not very good at this myself (I said that CDs would never catch on)
and backed the SACD horse a few years ago. I can see that Dolby True HD
and DTS HD are likely candidates for physical media, however the
copy-proof characteristics of SACD were what I thought would make it a
winner for the publishers. Is there any activity in a different, secure
blu-ray format?
