Now it seems like all sources (dts, ac3) with more than two channels are downmixed to stereo when not bitstreaming. I'm not sure if this is a bug, or default behavior...

So I am unsure what your problem is now? aac 7.1 not bitstreaming? aac 7.1 not mapped correctly? Sorry if I seem confused. Perhaps a restatement of your difficulty will clarify my fuzzy synapses.
