I enabled the AC3 and DTS passthrough as described in the first post and I get static audio. It might be good if people post what their configuration is that is either working or not working. I am wondering if it's a bug in OS 4.0 that is not allowing AC3 and DTS to passthrough. I am hesitant to update to the latest version of the OS as I am not a fan of tethered jailbreaks.
So for me.
Config
OS 4.0
Connected via HDMI to a Dennon reciever.
Result=Lots of Static audio

My setup:
ATV2 OS 4.1.1 (iOS 4.2.1) - installed XBMC with apt after adding the proper repos, did not use Nito TV.
SPDIF to Denon AVR-2805
Plays back DD and DTS, as well as multichannel AAC (comes up as DD on receiver)
HTH.

Make sure that you indicate which atv2 os this works on or does not. Just so everyone uses the same notation.
4.1
4.2
4.2.1
4.3bx
those are the versions, what shows in atv2 GUI is something else.

-> Changed two XML entries to true
-> Set Speaker Setup to 5.1
-> Output to Coax
Works great!

Hardware/Software
Apple TV v4.1.1 Build 1553 (iOS v4.2.1)
XBMC v10.0 (Installed via apt-get)
Denon AVR-890
HDMI Audio (No Coax/SPDIF)
guisettings.xml
ac3passthrough = changed to "true"
dtspassthrough = changed to "true"
channellayout = left unchanged (value was "7" for my 5.1 setup)
I had the same bad stereo downmix problem as everyone else where FL+FR=FR and RR+RL=FL when playing AC3/DTS .mkv files with stock installation. After changing guisettings.xml as bruienne suggested, passthrough works beautifully on a handful of MKV files I've spot tested (all DTS, not sure if I have any AC3 to test or not).
This fixed my only major issue discovered so far with XBMC on iOS, great post!
