That file has a 5.1 soundtrack according to mediainfo.

Mediainfo only sees the core of DD+ 7.1 tracks, which would be 5.1. It doesn't see the 4 channel extension. It's been like that forever. In relation, maybe Kodi only decodes the 5.1 track? (If Kodi properly decoded DD+ 7.1 tracks, this would mean that mediainfo would be patched rather sooner than later)

Kodi shouldn't be decoding anything, he is trying to passthrough.

Exactly - disable passthrough and it will decode the audio into 8 channel pcm ... Thats the only way to transfer more then 6 channels to your amp on osx...

Nope. Only the 5.1 DD core when decoded to pcm? But I could be wrong..
On another note, full DD+ *bitstreaming* compatibility requires full HDMI bitstreaming (TrueHD , DTSMA) capabilities. Of course modern amps will have the ability to generate the 2 back surrounds as phantom channels, but that's not the same. Silly Apple..they do almost everything else right. (In the audio/video area)
