First of all, you're right about 2 SADs for PCM.

The weird thing is that 192kHz support... According to the EDID (SADs)
it should be supported:
Format: 1 (PCM)        Channels:1    Freq:0x7F (32-192)    B2:0x07 (16-24b)
Format: 1 (PCM)        Channels:7    Freq:0x7F (32-192)    B2:0x07 (16-24b)
Format: 2 (AC3)        Channels:7    Freq:0x07 (32-48)    B2:0x50 (640?)
Format: 7 (DTS)        Channels:7    Freq:0x06 (44-48)    B2:0xC0 (1536?)
Format: 10 (EAC3)    Channels:7    Freq:0x06 (44-48)    B2:0x00
Format: 11 (DTS_HD)    Channels:7    Freq:0x7E (44-192)    B2:0x01
Format: 12 (MLP)    Channels:7    Freq:0x1E (44-96)    B2:0x00

So I performed more tests and:

1) speaker-test -D hdmi:CARD=Generic,DEV=0 -c6 -r192000 -F S16_LE
A nice noise for rear right and rear left, silent for the rest

2) speaker-test -D hdmi:CARD=Generic,DEV=0 -c6 -r176400 -F S16_LE
A nice noise for rear right and rear left, short "bump" sound for the rest

3) speaker-test -D hdmi:CARD=Generic,DEV=0 -c6 -r96000 -F S16_LE
A nice noise for all speakers (the same applies to 88200, 48000, 44100, 32000)

I don't get it. Onkyo reports support for 192kHz and it supports it,
but only for 2 rear speakers... does it make any sense do you?
