HDMI Audio problem or codec problem?

[mwdowns]

Hello all.

Recently tried updating to the latest RC for Xbian on my Pi, but when I tried playing a video file encoded for 5.1 sound, there was no audio. Files with 2.0 play fine, but anything for 5.1 is silent.

I went to settings and made sure the audio output was set up correctly (HDMI, 5.1), but nothing. Things work fine on the Beta 2 version of Xbian, but both RC versions have the "no 5.1 audio" problem. Was there something changed in the RC versions that might cause this?
