If that is the case, why even bother when AMLogic cannot output greater than 2.0 channels of PCM Audio ?
it's "Google Mobile Services", aka the certification for being legally safe when selling a device with Play Store "in a country where law exists" (cough cough)
About that, I don't know, all that stuff comes as closed source precompiled .so files.

This.
BTW, with the 8726MX you could put an "hacked" .bin firmware file for both dd/dts that was doing pcm 2.0 decoding, starting with S8 Amlogic releases their SDK only with libs that support pass-through, and give the good libs only to companies that are licensed.
In fact if you try playing a dd/dts movie on, let's say, a MK808B+ using MX Player (or even stock Amlogic "4k player") you won't hear any audio unless you use pass-through
