For some reason, the previous section previously mentioned doesn't work with PCM 5.1 streams. Another issue I run into with 24 bit PCM 5.1 audio streams, they require downmixing from S24_LE to S16_LE bit format. Reason being, 24 bit is a common format for most media, however receivers can sometimes only decode 16 or 32 bit audio. Also, the S/PDIF can only handle 16 bit audio when encoding to multi-channel formats such as A/52, for the time being until S/PDIF TosLink hardware specifications are upgraded.
