Hi guys.
Just wanted to say thanks! I have been struggling for a while trying to find a solution for the mapping problems I was having with 5.1 AAC movie files.
After reading through 32 pages of this thread last night I bit the bullet and decided to have a tinker.
I replaced my asound.conf with the file here and uploaded the HDA-Intel.conf which solved the mapping problem.
This was great but my Revo and the existing asound.conf was set up to output to both HDMI and Analog at the same time. (I have my Onkyo Amp running Zone2 speakers which require analog input)
So I went through and made the relevant changes to the ttables on that asound.conf, replaced the 7.1surround references in the HDA-Intel.conf to xbmc (which is the name of my device)
So this appears to have worked on all fronts as my outdoor speakers still work, and the dialogue of my 5.1 AAC movies is actually coming out of the centre speaker.
Here is a copy of the files in case any one else would like a similar set up.
Asound.conf.

I was going to upload the HD-Intel.conf file as well but apparently my post is too long! All you need to do is find and replace in notepad.
Anyway I am not sure that all the coding is 100% right as I have no idea about linux so I have just tried to modify files I found through the forum.
I guess if anyone sees anything that is wrong please let me know.
Thanks again guys!
