Multichannel LPCM audio playback Options

[arnymars]

Can someone suggest soft audio or media player that can directly play 5.1 LPCM audio? Pls don't tell that any player can, because in my experience NONE can. What plugins should I use to enable Foobar2000 play 5.1 LPCM?

Also, what utility can show media info data of a multichannel LPCM file? I tried MediaInfo and Gspot - they can't show any info about LPCM file.

What Media Server can transcode 5.1 Flac to 5.1 LPCM, and stream it to a Samsung BD Player over LAN?

I also know of some video players like VLC and Daum PotPlayer that claim to play multichannel LPCM - possibly only when muxed with video, assuming such mux carries some info about audio.

And many audio players can play multichannel LPCM if it is "muxed" into WAV, MKA, FLAC etc.

Of course, one can transcode LPCM to WAV, but the task was to stream LPCM from an audio player to a BD Player connected to an A/V Receiver for playback.

A player should be able to read WAV/FLAC/MP3/... files, decode, and send LPCM stream to your BD player. LPCM files are useless and unnecessary for your task.
