How do you encode a matrixed 2.0 PCM audio track, exactly? I have the PCM stereo file from Jonno but I need to author it with the surround flags.

don't touch it. the audio is already properly flagged. just add the pcm to your project. if you're going for a simple remux with tsmuxer, run the pcm through eac3to and export as .w64 or tsmuxer wont recognize the audio file. don't worry, you're not re-encoding. you just change the container. if you use mkv, then this step is not needed.

One last question. If I leave the audio format as 2ch PCM, won't the receiver try and make a 5.1 mix instead of the 3.0 matrix format that Dolby Stereo is supposed to have? If I remember correctly Dolby Pro Logic II and its newer variants try and make 5.1+ mixes out of formats that are less than 5.1. Unless I have a very old receiver that only has Pro Logic decoding, won't I be trying to add extra channels that were not intended to be used unless I have a audio track with a specific Lt, Rt flag?

Thanks!
