Acording to the update doc here:
Added Automatic Peak File Generation preference in the Audio category for turning off automatic peak file generation for imported audio. By default, this preference is enabled and matches the behavior of Premiere Pro CS6 (6.0.0).
Don’t know if this might help but it seems updating would give you the customization you’re looking for. I’m updating now so if theres any interest I’ll post my findings. I know this question is a month old but in case someone looking for something similar stumbles upon this thread (Like I just did.) here’s my findings after reading up on some adobe docs.

THANK YOU! It was so simple! I have some experience with pro tools and I do believe you are right. It is a very feature rich piece of software. (That groups thing for instance is rather useful, even if it stumped me for a while.) I’m definitely sticking to it. It is after all the industry standard.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the response. I think I might’ve not explained myself correctly. I don’t have a 5.1 file. I have a pro tools project with many tracks that have 5.1 automation. I discovered that the reason it wasn’t playing back had nothing to do with 5.1 as I initially thought, but rather, it turns out that since the project was being mixed at another facility and they had 5.1 monitoring hardware which I do not have, the outputs on my tracks were disabled. Some software will default to the built-in outputs if no hardware is found. Pro Tools is a bit different I guess. I’m honestly having the hardest time getting to do very simple, every day tasks.
Right now my biggest issue is that I can’t seem to select a single clip. I went through several tutorials on the smart tool and the selector and grabber tools but trying to use grabber tool to move a clip only manages to select every clip within the time region of the clip I click on. I know there are three different settings for the grabber tool. Time, separation and object. Time just selects the entire time region. So does separation. Object seems to grab all clips that fit entirely within the time region. There are groups on the project, but the selections don’t seem to care what group the clips are on. Is there any other reason why I wouldn’t be able to just select one clip?
I tried opening a new project and importing a few clips to run a test and I discovered that the grabber tool works as expected on the simple project. (I also discovered that pro tools won’t playback mp3 natively and that it create a converted file in order to import, in actuality, creating a duplicate file. I don’t like this, but that’s neither here nor there.) The test led me to believe that it must be some setting or some mode or activated thing on the project that is in fact doing this.
It’s driving me crazy. I’ve used, Audition, Logic, Reason, Studio One and Soundtrack Pro and I’ve never had any difficulty with anything this basic. I know, maybe I should make another thread for this one and getting to complaining too much but any insights on this would be most welcome.

Well, after much tinkering, I found the problem was that all the tracks were routed to a bus that was in turn routed to nothing. It’s all working now. Figured I’d post the answer to my dilema for anyone who might stumble into my situation in the future.
