VLC <-> DTS <-> AIRFOIL <-> APExpress <-> Z-5500

Hi,
I have a problem with streaming a DTS audio over Airfoil to airport express and then to logitech z-5500 digital speakers
audio is recognized only as a DD PLII, not a real dts or dolby digital whatever when I plug in my speakers direct to computer,
VLC work perfect and can send all what I want, Airfoil and APExpress suppose to work with dts with no problems - this info I found
on Rogue Amoeba website:

"The AirPort Express is capable of outputting DTS audio, and Airfoil can pass such audio to the device when it receives it from the source application. To make Airfoil act as a passthru and send any DTS audio it receives out to the AirPort Express without any adjustment, follow these steps:
1) Open the Airfoil Effects window. Make sure Volume is at 100%, Balance is set to Center and the Equalizer is turned Off.
2) In the main window, set the AirPort Express speaker volume to 100%
That's it! DTS audio sent to the device should now work as expected." <- I DID ALL OF THIS

Probably problem is in VLC application because when I plug my optical cable direct to computer in vlc menu
(AUDIO) I have one more option: SEND DIGITAL AUDIO TO DECODER - or something like that (I can't check it at this moment)
but when optical cable is in APexpress this option is unavailable, How can I to extort this option or something?

Anyone have any experience with DTS, VLC and AIRPORT ?

PS. MacBook Pro (santa rosa), Leopard 10.5.2, APexpress firmware 6.1, Airfoil 3, Logitech Z-5500, Optical cable.

Best regards,
Obecny

You could try one of the nightly builds from:
http://nightlies.videolan.org/

They don't seem to have been build for OS X for a while though. The nighly builds have improved S/PDIF output for DTS.

Has anyone got this to work yet? I can perfectly play DTS sounds via Itunes (my reciever, Denon, flags DTS and it sounds all good), but when trying with a DVD, MP4 file with AC3, it never works. My reciever keep flaging Neo:6.
