According to the below the receiver has separate PCM SADs for 2-channel
and multichannel playback. However, due to a radeon driver bug (see
"[PATCH] drm/radeon/audio: fix missing multichannel PCM SAD in some
cases", you were CCd) the multichannel SAD is lost and not shown below.

However, that is not (or at least should not be) the reason you are not
getting audio.
I suspect that the receiver does not support 192kHz multichannel audio
(which would be indicated in the missing multichannel PCM SAD). Does it
work with 48kHz or 96kHz?
(TODO: refuse PCM playback in such cases)

If it does not work with 48kHz or 96kHz either, then we have a bug to
solve :)
