Passthrough audio for .MKA's/.M4A's (stop forcing stereo, I want surround!)

I was addressing the comment regarding audio tracks in video files.

Support for multi-channel audio only files on Android/Android TV devices is a long standing request. There are several threads in the forum, many mentioning multi-channel FLAC music, music from SACD discs, and from other sources.

A different API is used for audio only media than what is used for media that may contain both video and audio. This seems to be the sticking point.

The most recent Plex employee comment I’ve seen is: Amazon Fire Cube not playing multichannel audio properly - #11 by DaveBinM

I’ve several multi-channel albums in my music collection. It would be nice if Plex could support them on the Shield.
