1) In combination with Sync Playback to Display, audio will, whenever PCM Audio is set to 2.0 channels and Dolby-Transcoding is enabled and stream is > 2 channels, encode the stream to Dolby AC3, so that SPDIF users (which PA passthrough users are) can output multichannel or others that have a hard time to use plain ALSA, and so on. It's an edge-case
2) Needs a long time to start <- cannot reproduce, don't see your Debug Log
3) works perfectly fine for me. LiveTV 1080i50 / 576i50 via pulse audio and transcoded AC3.
PS:
I don't see your Debug Log - therefore cannot
Here is mine, where you see watching of 5.1 LiveTV with AC3-Transcoding output.
I zapped around a bit, until I found Sixx HD with 5.1 Track, finally I watched a movie (DTS-HD), which also was properly transcoded to AC3.

My AVR: Denon X1300W.
Start reading: Line 4251 (Sixx HD) and 7307 for Tron.
Works out of the box I'd say.
