I am in the case #1 crowd. I like being able to watch some items with the TV speakers, but able to flip on my surround and have 5.1 when I want to. I do not really have a problem switching it either when I want to use it but...
The biggest issue is the wife approval factor. If I leave the output to my surround system when she wants to use XBMC she will not be watching anything until I fix it as she never uses the surround and never will (too many variables). Until there is dual output I am stuck with fake "surround sound", 2.0 being output from my Television and upconverted to Prologic 5.1.
That is the sad state my current "Theater" is stuck in until a better solution is developed/found
