What's the HD audio limitation of ATI cards in Linux with the amd drivers? Is there any? Are there any cards that have this limitation if any?

Amd on linux can only do 2 real channels. This is enough for DTS (5.1) and AC3 (5.1) that decode 6 channels virtual over two real ones. But nothing more.
This is not a hardware, but a software (fglrx) limitation.
Cause of this:
Only enable AC3 and DTS in the Audio Settings. Keep LPCM, TrueHD, DTS-HD, AAC disabled. And don't check play stereo on all speakers, as it also won't work.
Thx, added this info to the wiki since it seems its being asked more than once. http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Aud...x_in_Linux
Thank you again for clear and simple explanation.
