I assume you simply enabled transcoding to AC3, which lowers audio quality or you simply never encounter 5.1 AAC or 5.1 FLAC and you enabled DTS and AC3 passthrough, which bypasses the issue for supported passthrough formats.
These workarounds are fine as temporary solutions but they don't solve the core of the issue which is properly mapped multichannel LPCM audio on mac which was broken with 13.x.
I didn't see the fix mentioned in the 13.1 release notes, so I assume it hasn't landed yet.
Oh well 12.3 keeps chugging along while I wait.
I even tested it on 10.10 dev preview and it works perfectly. So it doesn't look like even the 10.10 OSX upgrade will break it.
