DTS-HDMA missing 2 channels?

[tribunal88]

I was playing Jack Reacher though VLC and noticed something that made me think I've done something wrong. While I had created the MKV with both the 7.1 and 5.1 tracks included, the 7.1 track, while being listed as DTS-HDMA, says it only has 5.1 channels, and it has the same bitrate as the standard DTS 5.1 track below it on the list. Is there a flag or setting I need to be using, or is this an issue on VLC's side?

UPDATE: Disregard. It must be something with VLC because when I actually looked into the file properties (also through VLC) it shows that the track is indeed 8 channels. Just to double check, I remuxed the audio tracks into separate individual files and the 8 channel DTS-MA track was significantly larger (about 3x) than the standard 6 channel DTS. I don't know why VLC's audio selector is reporting it as 5.1, but it's safe to say it is not.

VLC cannot decode the HD extensions. While it can determine the DTS profile, it can only parse and decode the 5.1 core…
