Fritsch,
I just wanted to thank you for the shitty build - on my Sony XBR65X850C using SPDIF to my Onkyo receiver, I can now finally hear multichannel audio out of all of my formats:
DTS/AC3 play natively, and AAC plays by transcoding to AC3 (sucks that I have to do that, but I'll one day buy a new receiver that supports ARC so I can use HDMI instead - I've just been waiting for worthwhile 4K media adoption to justify the new purchase).
Anyway, I get where you are coming from regarding making manufacturers fix their shitty firmware - but since it took Sony over a year to finally release a Marshmallow build, the chances of them ever fixing this are next to nill :/
I appreciate the "use at your own risk" build you provided, though!
