[mythtv-users] Mac mini - no DTS or AC3 sound?

I have just set up a new Mac Mini (with intel cpu) as an additional frontend. 
I am using the optical output to my surround receiver.

In Mythtv I have set it to use ALSA:default as output and ALSA:iec958 as 
passthrough. I have also checked the passthrough for DTS and AC3 boxes.

However I only get sound when I try to play videos containing stereo sound. If 
I try to play DTS or AC3 material I get no sound at all.

Any ideas which settings I need to have this working?
