I can't get multichannel PCM audio working on my MSI E350IA-E45 mobo (Fusion) running PVR Fusion daily build 9725.
Posting on openelec forums has resulted in many views but no answers - so I don't know if this is a limitation in the drivers used by the openelec builds on these AMD/ATI motherboards. I can get standard multichannel DTS or DD playing successfully over HDMI or S/PDIF from DVD ISOs, but never uncompressed PCM from my ripped DVD Audio disks.

Is this a possible error in my config or do I need to wait for the AudioEngine branch of xbmc to be completed?

Here's my configuration, aplay settings and an annotated selection of xbmc logs where I try to play 48kHz 6 channel FLAC (partial success with DVDplayer) and 96kHz 6 channel FLAC (no multichannel at all with PAPlayer or DVDplayer).
