Best practices export video with 5.1 surround sound
I've created my first 5.1 FCPX project and would like to play on an Apple TV2 as well as a Windows 7 HTPC running Windows Media Center. I've been trolling this and FCPX discussions and still having much difficulty. I've exported Quicktime movie using ProRes 422, opened in Compressor 4 and verified that file has six channel audio. I seletect target, HD for Apple Devices, Device Apple TV HD and select include 5.1 sound.
Here is the summary for output:

Resulting m4v file only has 2 channels as seen in get file info and when playing on the ATV2 and HTCP.
