I think this is purely a software issue. The hardware can handle
multichannel HDMI, but the whole squeezebox software infrastructure is
not designed for it. So any form of native multichannel support is going
to take different software. There should be no problem doing so from a
hardware standpoint, the box runs linux so it should be possible to
write a linux multichannel player. It might take some work on the HDMI
driver to support multichannel, I don't know for sure I haven't looked
at it. 

This is going to take significant work from the software folks, so it's
up to them to decide whether they want to do it.
