IIRC NeroAACEnc manages to encode streams up to 8 channels. Am I doing something wrong?

AFAIK Nero can encode 5.1 and 7.1, but not 6.1. So eac3to converts your 6.1 track to 7.1 to make it encodable with Nero.

Huh? TrueHD is *always* 24bit. Never lower, never higher. But it's possible that only some of those 24 bits are filled with actual data, with the remaining bits being zeroed out.
