fb2k Showing DTS 5.1 as Stereo

I am using foobar2000 0.9.4.4 (No DSPs. No extra components)
When I play a DTS 5.1 AudioCD, it shows as Stereo in the statusbar.
It shows as 2 Channels under track properties too.
(BTW the DTS 5.1 AudioCDs play perfectly giving 5.1 channel output through my A/V recevier. Its only that they show as Stereo in fb2k)
Any ideas?

2) When I close fb2k the tracklist from the previous playing session still remains (even if I eject the AudioCD).
Is there a way to clear it automatically everytime I close fb2k??
Is there a way to clear the tracklist automatically immediately after I eject the AudioCD??

Actually it IS stereo. foobar don't know what you are playing. As far as I know, there is no such standard as DTS AudioCD. A CD has to be compliant to the Red Book standard, which defines a Stereo signal at 44khz in 16 bits. However you are just sending a raw stream, which in this case is a DTS stream, and since your reciever are able to detect and decode this stream, it will be played back like that.
Can't wait for a HD-AAC encoder :P

you need the dts plugin for foobar so that it can decode the file.

and the files need to be .dts files so you probably have to rip your cd and rename the extensions.
