Be aware that many TVs will either refuse the display anything or pop-up
an OSD warning whenever they receive hdmi audio which they cannot handle.

Sending 8-channel in your example may render the stereo-only monitor useless.

That said, one step at a time is reasonable.  But eventually you will 
require configurability and/or per-monitor audio control even when the
video is cloned.
