It's a workaround for shitty incapabilities of broken firmware :-( I am sad that the default state of such consumer devices are the way they are. Namely: PT hack is a risk BUT their provided implementation of official API sucks like hell :-) ... so that's the issues I have to face. And even worse: Every shitty device has another bug ... for some EAC3 5.1 work EAC3 7.1 fails. Or for some DTS 48.0 works, but DTS 44.1 / 96 fails ... and so on and so on.
I think I can be happy with Android 7 (for dts, ac3, eac3) and hopefully a official 7.2 with additional capabilities for dts-hd, truehd ... (google has plain forgotten that in Android N, I am on the way getting it into the official standard as we speak).
But - this won't work on the FireTV as the vendor does not implement it. Why should he - all the content he provides you does not have this capabilities at all :-)
