David:

When I do this, I do get "real" stereo from 2ch sources; I no longer get
"Pro Logic" upmixed sound.  And now, all of my DD5.1 shows are downmixed
to stereo.  Yeah, I get sound, but only 2-channel.  That's better than no
sound at all, but....!

Dan:

You're right, I can, but again, without any upmixing.
