Are you sure those Talking Heads albums only have a DVD-Audio layer? Because many music DVDs have the 5.1 mix both as a DVD-A layer and as regular DVD layer. Meaning, you can play the surround mix of the album as if it was regular video DVD, if your player can't read the DVD-A layer.
For example, I have a dual disc version of Björk's Homogenic which does exactly that, the 5.1 mix is there as both a DVD-A layer, and as a DVD-V layer which any player can read. Of course the DVD-A layer has a higher bitrate than the DVD-V layer, but my ears are not good enough to tell the difference. So I've never bothered to get a more expensive player with DVD-A support just for that.
