Okay, I guess I'll rehash everything and attempt to use those dts/dd5.1 test files.
For these tests I'm using the above nightly build with the following options:
enable audio checked(obviously)
use s/pdif when available checked
forced detection auto
output type: win32 waveOut extension
My physical setup is a chaintech AV710 card, using TOSLINK optical to a set of z5500 (5.1) speaker system. The z5500 is set up to show me incoming digital data.
And I'm using winvista ultimate, 32bit.
results:
4_currents.ac3 gives me correct 5.1 dolby digital output. (3/2 48^16)
any of the .wav files i tried, however, didn't deliver.
diatonis_invisible_order_anfos_ac3.wav gave me PCM 2/0 48 output, even with 5.1 mode enable in the audio>audio device toolbar menu.
diatonis_dts_secret-universe.wav didn't even play, nor did dts_diatonis_io_afos.wav
Oddly enough, other files I have (movies) with dts encoding will play, and my z5500's will even show the proper bitstream and identifier (dts 3/2 48^24)
Conclusion:
NB allow correct playback of .ac3 files and dts/dd5.1 imbedded movies, but I haven't had any luck with dd-encoded wav files or dts-encoded wav files.

It may be important to note that I'm using a fairly fresh install of Vista, so I may not have the necessary codecs for imbedded .wav decoding... if you want to suggest something for me to try, i'm open for that.
