No - wrong. Best Match has nothing to do with Passthrough. As passthrough always reopens the sink with the proper format. It also does not matter how many channels you set in xbmc, cause those only affect PCM signals.
xbmc won't be able to open more than 2 channels with that setup. DTS and AC3 are sent via 2 channels only (virtual 5.1 coded over 2 pcm channels), it's a compressed format.
DTS-HD needs to open 8 channels at 192 khz, xbmc.log should contain something like:
You see the 8 channels?
Edit: Your fixed config will disable passthrough completely - but cause of the FL/FR only won't open more than those 2 channels anyways.
