HD audio? 23.976, 24 and 59.940? 3D Blu-ray ISO playback as 3D?

I bought one of these a year ago, the pro version, I think. I've done a variety of different installs and didn't get HD audio playback nor 23.975, 24, etc. but perhaps I should dust it off and try the newest OpenELEC.. in theory, it's a great box, incredibly small, quiet and handled Aeon MQ5 skin fine.

Pity is still does not do Live TV de-interlacing otherwise it would be a worthy Kodi/XBMC box for the price.
I just wish Chromeboxes would drop in price now.
All this healthy competition is good for potential purchasers tho.

I'm also very curious what the current status is of kodi on the cubox. Is it just as reliable as x86 now? I have an i4 pro that i let the smoke out of (grabbed the wrong power brick on accident, d'oh!). I'm very hesitant to buy another as it seemed that support for the platform was extremely limited for a very long time. I want something I can give to a completely non-technical friend and have it just work. It's a big reason why I would be willing to recommend something like sam nazarko's vero to friends/family over me providing them with the usual x86 hardware that is popular at the time with openelec because while openelec is great it is far from grandmother proof. It has it's fair share of quirks (crashes, setting/video changes after automatic updates, etc) that normal users do not understand.
