Just tried a Chris Swan build of OE with Kodi 16 and both DTS and DD works fine with either HDMI audio extracted for SPDIF or with a USB sound stick and SPDI.
So that works the same as OE 6.0.3, OSMC and OE 7 test build. No problems.
Latest build again will not pass through DD or DTS.

When playing the film 300 with the #316 Kodi 17 build....
when playing with a Chris Swan Kodi 16 build.....
When playing A beautiful Mind encoded with Dolby Digital with Kodi 17....
When playing with Kodi 16....
Kodi 17 will play the DD encoded film but only when the passthrough is disabled and then re-enabled whilst playing and done the same when playing any DD film.
For DTS it is not getting passthrough when used with either the USB sound stick or, as shown above, when using HDMI audio and an extractor.
