I checked the Dolby site at
http://www.dolby.com/tech/l.br.0007.FullDDFAQ.html#q2
and quote -

"Dolby Digital soundtracks can provide anything from mono to full 5.1-channel surround sound. DVD- Video discs of movies can even carry multiple versions of the soundtrack that differ in the number of channels. A disc might contain a 5.1-channel sound mix with the dialogue in one language, a Dolby Surround-encoded two-channel mix in another language, and a mono track with the directors’ comments or other supplementary information. The default soundtrack will vary from disc to disc, so always check the DVD disc’s Language menu for the choices offered."

Which all confuses me somewhat.
