OK, I just found out that I can get mplayer/SMPlayer to work with
AC3/DD/DTS via SPDIF (passthrough) on the same file by doing this...

mplayer -ao alsa:device=iec958 -ac hwac3 ExampleMovie.mkv

Alternatively, I just added the line in SMPlayer under Options >
Preferences > Advanced > Options for MPlayer > Options...

-ao alsa:device=iec958 -ac hwac3

So hopefully that's some kind of hint for the VLC dev's :) Thanks~
