The background is the HDMI transport protocol which carries either exactly one IEC 60958 audio stream in its multiplex, or four of them. This relates to a 2-channel or a 8-channel sample structure at the interface level. The true number of output channels in a given audio stream is determined by out-of-band 'valid' flags in case of LPCM or in-band signaling in case of the various encoded formats according to IEC 61937.
@Daniela - quite correct - was forgetting that's in the muxer code, not the actual output being forced. Sounds like more folks are ringing back with good results on TrueHD sync. A fantastic piece of work - and it will have a postive impact on AE as these timing issues are not resolved there. Very appreciative of your work!
