There is no AAC passthrough and there has never been.

Progressbar would shown AAC 5.1 info - but only plays in pcm (stereo).

However on Pi the cpu usage is likely to be too high for that.
Quote:But this nice function takes each AAC 5.1 Channel from source and transcodes it 1:1 to a A/V capable DD5.1 Channel, if i understood it right?
No re-calculating or upmixing or something like that, just center aac 5.1 transcoding to center ac3 5.1 and so on?
Please don't blame me if it's a silly question, i just still can't really believe this to be true
This function is awesome, if source is AAC 5.1, my A/V (Audio Output set to AUTO, PCM and Recoding inactive) is showing up AC3 5.1 and there also seems to be authentic 5.1 coming out of the speakers.
Exactly what i've been looking for for a long time. Thank you
