Description
Describe your suggested feature
Currently, CloudStream plays only background music for 5.1 audio tracks — missing center audio (dialogues). A toggle for stereo downmix or full 5.1 passthrough would be great.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or playback entry points. Start by locating CloudStream's Android audio playback configuration and determine whether stereo downmix and 5.1 passthrough are supported by the current media backend; done means 5.1 tracks preserve center-channel dialogue under a defined user-selected mode.
