I'm surprised. I would have thought that bitstreaming over HDMI to a receiver (even on windows) is pretty standard kit these days - more so if you are an enthusiast.

I've verified that it isn't an ATI / driver related issue. I took some extra time last night and downloaded the dx version of XBMC to an NVIDIA equipped Win 7 laptop with an HDMI port. I also loaded MPC-HC and ffdshow. MPC(using ffdshow) and the XBMC DSPlayer (using ffdshow) both bitstreamed AC3 over HDMI. The XBMC internal player did not.

At the moment, I'm thinking that the internal XBMC player does not send through a required attribute in the bistream and consequently my surround processor doesn't know what the incoming bistream is. I don't have a background in AV development, so I'm probably not using the right words to describe this. My processor uses the cirrus logic chipset - so if I'm right then this problem would occur for anyone using a processor / receiver with the same chipset.
