I don't think those formats belong there since they're not really codecs. Instead, they are a combination of an existing Dolby (Dolby Digital Plus or Dolby TrueHD) or DTS codec audio stream with extra metadata added. They need to be passed through to a compatible sound system and can't be decoded to LPCM or similar by Kodi with the spacial metadata intact. Kodi 18 and 19 already supports passthrough of these formats.
