AC3 passthrough does not function when Max Audio Channels set to '5.1', only when set to 'Stereo'

Description

I have set up the audio to passthrough ac3 encoded sound (5.1 channels) to my external digital audio receiver. Ironically, in the Setup->General->Audio screen in the Frontend, if I choose '5.1' for 'Max Audio Channels' the passthrough does not work, and only silence is heard on my speakers. If I set it instead to 'Stereo', I get proper passthrough and full 5.1 channel sound on the speakers.

I can confirm that this happens to me as well, running the latest 21-fixes SVN.

This happens to me too. Here is what I see from a log on the frontend.

I think this is the relevant part. I see no errors anywhere.
