First off, I just found out that XBMC is being ported to Windows. I about pooped myself. I love everything about XBMC, it is exactly what I want/need.
I have searched the forums several times now and I'm not finding anyone talking about Multichannel OUTPUT. Many receivers have this feature, where you simply send every individual 5.1 channel to the receiver using stereo RCA cables, and all it does is amplify the signal. I use this setup since my receiver does not do matrixing well, and does not support ac3 (I dont think. when I tried all i got was PCM stereo).
Am I alone? did I miss something in the SPDIF settings that would allow me to pass 5.1 from AC3 MKVs to the receiver?
If I am not alone, would it be possible to add this audio output to the non XBOX versions of XBMC? I am assuming it doesnt currently exist because the XBOX only had optical/stereo analog outputs. but with PC sound cards, you have this multichannel option.
Thanks in advance, and keep up the good work!
