As I have already stated the only audio outputs on Apple TV are 16bit 48khz and Dolby Digital 5.1 pass through. This is on HDMI and TOSLINK. So 2 channel audio is converted to 16bit 48khz, Dolby Digital 5.1 is passed through transparently. Yes it supports lot's of audio standards, but this just means they are converted!
