EO on DVD anytime soon?

Having worked the attraction at Disneyland a few years and having thus seen the film a great many times, I would love to see this film on DVD but wonder if in this age of Political Correctnes and what with the legal mess that the star of the film is in, perhaps I/we will wait a great deal longer... fingers are in crossed position though...I wouldn't mind also, to just obtain the soundtrack on a CD of some sort. One of the songs, "Just another part of me" is found on the "BAD" album, but the other one from the film entitled, "We are here to change the world" is somewhat more elusive to the average citizen such as I. In Disneyland, one used to be able to burn their own audio CD of popular, past attractions such as the "Carosel of Progress" or "Pirates of the Carribean" but never Captain EO.
