I have finally figured out a way to get dcadec in the DTS to AC3 convert portion to stop spewing hundreds of thousands of lines of "skip" for some files. Besides the clearing the screen aspect it also significantly slows down the process as the output buffer fills and the program has to wait to continue.

By redirecting STDERR to /dev/null we can get rid of the skip lines and keep the actual output:

nice -n $PRIORITY dcadec -o $AUDIOMODE "$DTSFILE" 2>/dev/null| nice -n $PRIORITY aften -v 0 - "$AC3FILE"
