Plex transcodes EAC3 to AAC when it should not

I don’t have more than 30 streams and when I enable “force direct play” the video and the selected audio track (EAC3 7.1) plays just fine. But I can’t transcode anything of course with this setting enabled.

Once the “force direct play” setting is disabled, Plex starts transcoding EAC3 7.1 to AAC. Which causes this bug.
