As I know, Fire TV Stick re-encode LPCM to 5.1ch Dolby Digital Plus.
Dolby True HD and DTS-HD 7.1ch have speaker mapping with two "side channels" and "surround channels".
However when I played those 7.1ch data in Kodi, side channels audio were determined as "surround back" by Fire TV when downmixed to 5.1ch DDP(Kodi itself output 7.1ch LPCM).
My question : Which speaker mapping Kodi uses when output 7.1ch LPCM on Fire TV Stick(Android), Side+Surround or Surround+SurroundBack?
