Just to let people know that from now on in the v19 nightlies, it will be possible to use smart playlists or nodes to filter your music by sample rate, bit rate, or the number of channels https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/17540. This will require you to do a full re-scan of all your tags however so that the information can be read into the database first.
Once done though you will be able to make smart playlists based on the number of channels eg quadraphonic or 5.1 audio, or for files with sample rates of 96Khz (and/or above) and have nodes that do the same thing.
Example node to show albums where the songs have a sample rate of 96Khz or above.
Once again, I'd like to express my thanks to @DaveBlake for all his help.
I don't think there will be any issues, but if you do come across one, please report it here or on github thanks.
