tcprobe detects only 2 channels on AC3 6 channels file ?

 
Hi
 
I'm trying to use the direct passthtough parameter of transcode. I'd like to
transcode vob files to avi (ffmepg) with 6 channels AC3 audio.
Unsuccessfull.
Transcode seems to always dowmix to stereo. I've investigated and my pb
seems to come from tcprobe that does not detect 6 channels but 2.
My original vob files own well 6 channels here is a quick check under ffmpeg
and tcdecode on the same files :
 
 
ffmpeg -i 004.vob gives :

Could it comes from a special transcode compilation parameter or simply a
'hidden' option ?
 
thanks for helping me
