The are different ways of muxing ac-3 in mov, all valid. The dac3 atom  
inside mov has been used only by apple in QuickTime 7.5 when they  
introduced an ac3 importer.

I think it's more important to test ac-3 in mp4. QuickTime can open it  
only if the extension is m4v or m4a, and in this case it reads the  
channels count and the sample rate from the dac3 atom.

Btw, on OS X and with an ac-3 component installed QuickTime is able to  
play the files generated by ffmpeg without problems.
