Description of Fault
Playing 5.1 Dolby Digital media with AC3 Passthrough enabled results in no audio. The amplifier emits a brief burst of static and incorrectly displays "[Dolby Digital 2/0]" on its front panel, but does not then emit any further sound. Manually switching the amplifier to another source and then back to the Apple TV optical input (whilst the media is already playing) results in the amplifier panel correctly displaying "[Dolby Digital 3/2]", but again does not emit any sound.
I'm guessing that TRAC isn't open to ATV2 tickets just yet, so I've captured as much relevant info as I can think of below. Give me a shout if there's anything else I can add/try to assist troubleshooting this one.

Finally, I really should say just how much I appreciate all the work that's been done to date by the team. Even without my 5.1 sound, it's phenomenal to see my tiny ATV2 running XBMC. Thank you!
