Hi all, I have a 5.1 receiver connected via hdmi. When playing multichannel pcm in kodi, it plays as stereo. However, this only happens in kodi. Testing the speakers with speaker-test, as well as playing a test file via aplay works fine and the correct channels are played, but when I try to play the file in kodi, it is output as stereo. Digital passthrough like DTS works fine with the correct channels.

Here is the relevant section of the log: https://paste.kodi.tv/uneyewizak

the layout doesn't match what kodi requests
