Maybe include some kind of "speaker test" within myth then, maybe on the
audio settings screen?  If someone needs downconversion and/or resampling
and don't realize it then not seeing the AC3 logo is definitely going to
cause confusion.  A button to play a sample 5.1 channel AC3 and/or DTS track
would go a long way towards saying "yep, I'm configured correctly",
regardless of what logos appear.  Just a suggestion.
