Apple TV not playing audio correctly #1016

Describe the bug

When playing Blu-ray rips (h.264 video, DTS audio) surround sound only comes through as 2 channel. Once transcoded to AAC with Handbrake, 5.1 surround plays as expected, but only with "Native Player" turned on under 'Experimental Features'. If 'Native Player' is left off no audio plays at all.

VLC app on Apple TV plays surround correctly, leading me to believe it's not due to libvlc (issue #663). The closest other bug report I've found is issue #723 .
