I see that. I knew that DTS/AC3 bitstreaming used 2 channels because I used to run Toslink / SPDIF and I had read up a bit in the past. It would send 2 lossless LPCM channels and bitstream DTS/AC3 5.1 when played.
I just didn't put it together that XMBC would need to detect 7.1 @ 192khz bandwidth over HMDI in order to enable DTSHD/TrueHD bitstreaming. Thanks for clueing me in! I can see how it would cause a problem on my setup by only detecting m_channels: FL,FR.
I wonder if anyone else has had problems with the AMD HD5670 and bitstreaming HD Audio> I wouldn't guess it was an EDID problem with my SONY receiver since it works with Windows, and still doesn't work in Ubuntu with the EDID override.

You said it would work with fglrx installed before? Which makes me really wonder.
Also don't forget to post the windows xbmc.log please

Best chances are to post this bug on the alsa-user mailing list while having the drm-devel ML in CC.
post kernel log dmesg | pastebinit with drm.debug=0xe on the bootline. Then provide the codec output for both fglrx and radeon oss. This will the most important people informed.

fritsch,
Can you provide how to post to the alsa-user mailing list? I'm not sure how to access the mailing list at all.
Should I post the kernel log & codec outputs with my current Mint install that is bitstreaming HD Audio with AMD drivers, or should I install to the non working mini.iso and run the logs?
Sorry to be such a nuisance!

Working Log and non working log for all on your hardware - this is important. The person that will fix the issue does not have your GPU.
