What’s the latest on any support (official or otherwise) for playback of music mixed in 5.1 via .m4a files?
I have tried copying some of the content to my Sonos library and then tried a library update, but it still doesn’t show up.
Am I out of luck?
Answer
Playback of multichannel .m4a files

Any outside apps that I can play on Sonos? Via either Plex or an Apple TV, perhaps?
I imagine any apps that play through a TV can play a multi-channel source to a Sonos Home Theater system. No direct streaming, but it will play them through HDMI-ARC via the TV.
