I'm sure no Xbian developer is going to take this on, just throwing ideas out there for someone who might want to give it a go.

I'm afraid those 2.4MB/s is sustained peak of io what RPI can deliver at max.

There is similar discussion going on in the background, which I'm quite interested in - AAC -> AC3 online recoding. As there is no passthrough for AAC available, all "certified" mp4 (H264 video + 2ch AAC + 5.1ch AAC) are playing stereo only (even on AC3/DTS/LPCM hw capable AVR decoder). The official statement is "no free cpu cycles to transcode the 6 channels", but I remember same discussion three years ago with ATV2.

Now, the AAC->AC3 is native to ATV2 version of xbmc, but forcing me to preprocess such video files and add additional audio of AC3. doesn't take more than 3-5 minutes, but still it's not the stupid-proof setup as ATV2 was.

So you never know - it will come the day.
