Is it a bug or not?
No. With passthrough the speaker configuration is ignored. It is impossible for the Pi to affect the audio at all as it is being decoded by receiver.
If speaker configuration is having an effect you are not using passthrough.
I did a test again and checked my Denon AVR-2313: 5.0 Bi-Amp
If I set-up 2.0, I have output 2.0 with PCM 6 Channels files and 5 Channels output with DTS/AC3 files (I have 5.0 speakers)
If I set-up 5.0, I have output 5.0 output with all files
AVR displays the right format: DTS, DD or MULTI IN
So I have to set-up 5.0 anyway.
This is not what was expected if I read thoroughly.
