2. To confirm HD audio support capabilities: is there's a way to output all HD audio formats as PCM 5.1? Answer #247 above says yes, but, does this mean, for example, that Dolby True HD 7.1 will output DD 5.1 or PCM 5.1 (using HDMI)? Or else only 2.0 will be output?

Unless Amlogic has changed something specifically for the WeTeK Core, S812-H SoC doesn't natively support 7.1 passthrough or multichannel LPCM. It only outputs 2.0 PCM or lossy 5.1 audio.
