With the AppleTV not supporting passthrough (or decoding) of DTS/Dolby True HD but supporting 7.1 PCM I’d really like an option for Plex to transcode those audio formats to PCM rather than 640k AC3.

I agree. Or the ability to transcode to Apple Lossless. Anything to keep the quality intact of my bluray rips audio.
