It is only possible via transcoding, as you currently have with your settings, due to API v22 limitations.
Only thing @fritsch did was lowering AC3 transcoding bitrate on Android (from o640Kbit/s > 384Kbit/s > 448Kbit/s) to make it work on those TV's.
Theres nothing else he can do for us...as firmware on MTK chipsets used on those TV's is buggy and locks up on 640Kbit/s AC3
What will 6.0.1 bring onto table, I have currently no idea, as I have not received it yet.
I will definately test different options, when I finally have it on mine and report here to, what has changed and how Kodi behaves.

This setting is only useful, if you have something with 640Kbit/s AC3 stream on your library, as it would (by implementation to keep things in sync with display) force it to be resampled and transcoded to lower bitrate AC3 instead of just passing it trough. Otherwise, you would get silence (due to firmware bug, mentioned perviosly, audiotrack locks up) and to make audio work again you would have to restart your TV.

Does not work on Philips, output would be still PCM2.0
And avoid "PCM hack", or your hearing and wife will leave you...permanently...
