Comment (by LigH):

 This does not only belong to the E-AC-3 encoder, but also to the decoder
 or the format recognition in general. There is a report in the German
 doom9/Gleitz video forum that ffmpeg does not even recognize a 7.1 channel
 Blu-ray audio stream correctly, which consists of a 5.1 AC-3 core and
 additional E-AC-3 channels. It may have been related to a slightly older
 version; a rather current ffmpeg version (N-81308-g369ed11, 2016-08-09)
 prints a warning that it will handle only the 5.1 core:


 {{{
 [eac3 @ 0000000002a8f900] Dependent substream decoding is not implemented.
 Update your FFmpeg version to the newest one from Git. If the problem
 still occurs, it means that your file has a feature which has not been
 implemented.
 [eac3 @ 0000000002a8f900] If you want to help, upload a sample of this
 file to ftp://upload.ffmpeg.org/incoming/ and contact the ffmpeg-devel
 mailing list. (ffmpeg-devel at ffmpeg.org)
 }}}


 Possibly relevant: MediaInfo does not recognize it correctly either (e.g.
 reports an obviously improbable bitrate of 500 bytes per second).
