On a sidenote: When i set the output to optical to get the correct stereo downmix for movies this seems to be a tough job for the ATV2 - i got occasional stuttering effects with those settings - but still better than a broken downmix.
Also i added <ac3passthrough>true</ac3passthrough> in guisettings.xml - but that was sometime before i updated to your builds - not sure if that has been overwritten by updating to your builds.
Your setting this on your receiver or the ATV2? I will verify my settings tonight.
Is it 'downmixing' to stereo then and not properly playing out 5.1 ac3 OR dts? Can you verify a DTS file as well?
Also enable debugging and get the xbmc.log file and post it here when its playing broken.
