Appologies if this is a stupid question, but I'm a newb on a steep learning curve...
I'm currently considering buying on of these to jailbreak XBMC on and put in the bedroom but...
All my media is encoded to MKV, but with only a passthru track of the main audio file from each DVD (usually 5.1). I have no downmixes of audio tracks as additional tracks on any MKV's I have.
How does this play out if I was to try and play these MKV's through XBMC straight to a TV with no amp involved in the setup? Will this hit the wall in that the Apple will be unable to decode the original source for output therefore I won't be able to get any sound from the player?
Cheers for anyone who can shed some light on the issue.
