Ok, replying to myself here. I see part of it. The audio is indeed 2
channel AC3, not 6 channel. Regardless I would expect it to pass
through even if there's not much difference between passing it through
and decoding to 2 channel PCM. Playing another recording with 6
channel AC3 does get passed through.
