There must be a maximum of 9 audio groups.

Each subdirectory of an audio input directory will contain titles for a separate audio group. A number between 1 and 9 must be included as the second character of the subdirectory's relative name.

Full Input/Output paths must be specified.  

EXAMPLES

-creates a 3-group DVD-Audio disc (legacy syntax):
dvda-author -g file1.wav file2.flac -g file3.flac -g file4.wav

-creates a hybrid DVD disc with both AUDIO_TS mirroring audio_input_directory and VIDEO_TS imported from directory VID, outputs disc structure to directory DVD_HYBRID and links video titleset #2 of VIDEO_TS to AUDIO_TS:

dvda-author -i ~/audio/audio_input_directory -o DVD_HYBRID -V ~/Video/VID -T 2

Both types of constructions can be combined.
