XBMC Log

Hardware
AppleTv with CrystalHD (the problem occurs with and without the card installed)
KEF instant theather kit570w

When I play files with AAC audio the play incorrectly in XBMC, the system seem to detect the wrong number of channels (4 as opposed to 6 in this case) so that the center and the subwoofer do not produce any sound

If I play the same files in Boxee or Nito (though in this case they would skip many frames) the receiver is correctly detected and the whole channels play

The same file plays fine with XBMC 9.04 and previous versions

Please help as this is really bugging me and rendering 50% of my assets unwatchable on XBMC

There seems to be an issue with all files that have spectral band replication in XBMC for apple tv

I found a workaround extracting the tracks, converting AAC to AC3 and remuxing
With the new MKV (H264+AC3) Xbmc correctly decodes the audio
With the AAC I tried to remux in m4v and I get the error audio undertermined

Done

I found a workaround demuxing, converting the AAC to AC3 and then remuxing but it is tedious

I submitted the trac ticket http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/8465

I would like to know if other people have the same issue with the sample file
