When I play DTS with DTS passthrough, the receiver displays 'DTS';  
when I play AC3 file with AC3 passthrough, it displays 'Dolby  
Digital'; if I'm playing a raw unencoded stream, it displays PCM.

It doesn't seem to be a sample rate problem. When mplayer decodes a 48  
KHz file from FLAC/MP3 to PCM and plays it, it's playing at 48 KHz and  
that's the same rate the receiver is detecting (displays "PCM 48000Hz").
