Just tinkered around a bit in /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/userdata/guisettings.xml and flipped these two on, hoping it'd work, and it did:
In the <audiooutput> section, change "false" to "true" on the following entries:
<ac3passthrough>false</ac3passthrough>
<dtspassthrough>false</dtspassthrough>
I am now getting AC3 passed through from the SPDIF out to my 7.1 receiver. Overall video playback is also a lot smoother now that it's not downmixing to 2.0 audio it seems.
HTH.
