Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu.
Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) reached end-of-life on April 28, 2017.
See this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
We appreciate that this bug may be old and you might not be interested
in discussing it any more.
Does that mean that this is not a bug after all?
If it does pass-through why don't I get 5.1 sound when playing 5.1
sample files, like this one?

About PulseAudio, S/PDIF ac3 output:
PulseAudio does not ship an ac3 encoder by default (I believe it is for patent
reasons).
As such there is no way we can output ac3 in speaker test dialog (and we don't
ship pre-encoded 5.1 sample wavs either).
As for passthrough support, should be working
Thanks David for the explanation, it seems that the issue is not really
in the configuration dialog then...

Hey David, do you if that issue is in the settings UI or on the
