I started with instructions provided first in this thread except that I didn't compile pulseaudio since I have pulseaudio 1.1 already installed.
Then I launched xbmc and set audio output & passthrough both to Pulse Audio (standard).
Now I *finally* have 5.1 sound working on my Intel Sandy Bridge mobo with HDMI connection to TV.
So then the question is, when is this planned to get pulled into xbmc head?
Thanks!

So it's working with Intel's HDMI then?? If so that's great. I only have Nvidia to test with. ATI seems to work also.
As far as pulling into head... The main developers here are invested pretty heavily in the AudioEngine branch, which is a pretty big overhaul of the audio subsystem. My objective with my branch was to get something working ASAP with the hardware that I have. Realistically, any merging into head would probably come after AudioEngine is merged. I do rebase with head periodically, so an official merge with head is not too important.
