Quicktime is respecting this channel limit and so request the A52Codec only decode in 2 channel. We have some means of getting around this, but to truly fix it requires documentation from Apple which they have not provided. Also, don't expect output to the S/PDIF interface. This is entirely an issue with Apple and I get the distinct impression that they have no desire to see it fixed.

I installed your A52 Codec and it worked, however sound came through in stereo. Do you know if 5.1 audio playback is possible in QuickTime Player, or do we need to use VLC?
