I have not used Mplayer that much.
When I used the graphical interface it played OK, but I think it used Pulseaudio and the reciever signalled Multi Channel PCM.
When I changed settings in XBMC and set the reciever to not handle DTS HD, XBMC played the file OK and the reciever signalled DTS. I suppose this is as expected.
It is a standard Ubuntu 12.04 installation.
XBMC is also straight forward, git clone, fixed dependencies, ./bootstrap, ./configure, ./make j2, sudo make install.
Yes, when you turn off DTS HD passthrough ffmpeg will decode the audio. You need to set mplayer to use the same ALSA device XBMC is using, not go through pulse. I would assume there's an entry in the preferences in the mplayer GUI for that. Otherwise, you'll have to use the command line.

Can you post a log? I think you accidentally posted the wrong link.
