The XBMC GUI settings were set to "Number of channels: 2.0" and "Output Configuration: Best Match" for those tests. I had read that leaving the GUI mixer channels as 2.0 and setting to "Best Match" is the usual way to get a bitstream since it shouldn't matter how many channels there are, it's just sending RAW audio.
Just for the heck of it, I enabled XBMC GUI settings mixer "Number of channels: 7.1" to see if it would make any difference.
Here is the pastebin with 7.1 set and "Best Match" for passthrough (I still received the NOTICE: m_channels : FL,FR): http://paste.ubuntu.com/7804958/
Here is the pastebin with 7.1 set and "Fixed" @192.0 (I believe XBMC should decode and send RAW LPCM 7.1 to the AVR. I still received the NOTICE: m_channels : FL,FR. The AVR also only shows 2 channels @ 192khz on the display): http://paste.ubuntu.com/7805000
Maybe we (YOU) have found the problem? One step closer to a house run by OpenSource and XBMC!
