I've update AudioFilter and the Xbmc AudiFilter patch.  It now passes 
the core dts-5.1 portion of dts-hd audio streams.

Supposedly ffmpeg can mux a dts-hd stream that passes through the full 
dts-hd stream.  I want to analyse what ffmpeg is doing to the hd portion 
of the stream so I can implement it.  If anyone knows of the ffmpeg 
command that will mux a dts-hd stream for spdif let me know.
