Hopefully of some use, so sending it anyway]
I have a J7F2WE1G2E board, which has to be the same or pretty similar to
yours. Pass through works fine for me. I'm using Minimyth and the only
configuration I made was to choose alsa:spdif as the audio output and
click the two pass-through buttons. I haven't knowingly set up anything
specific to xine.
Not sure about 5.1. Generally my TV says it's detecting 2/2 data when
I play a DVD. Also playback of TV shows seems to correctly drive the
prologic circuitry in my TV: the TV doesn't show detection of that, but
I can hear the back channel giving a sort of cut down surround.
Cheers,
Paul.
