work by tghewett from the raspberry pi forum it is now possible to stream high 
resolution audio through the HDMI cable. Before the raspberry pi would 
down-sample everything to 48 kHz. But we modified the bcm2835-pcm.c and build 
the kernel. Now it is possible to stream 88.1 kHz and 96 kHz through HDMI. It 
might be possible even to use up to 192 kHZ, but I have not received any report 
on this.

Can you change the max channels to 8? I believe the HDMI spec allows 8ch
PCM for audio.

I'd like to see a setting in the piCoPlayer to pass along bitstream
audio, that means it would really just be streaming, letting the
horsepower of your receiver do all of the decoding. As it is now, the
piCoPlayer decodes whatever format you're using (flac it appears in most
of our cases), ogg, mp3, etc. to PCM data. If it'd bitstream, we'd get
around all these max channels, max sample/bit rate problems.
