Pasdthrough does not take our volume path at all. It is a noop in PA sink...

I am using spdif out to my amplituner.
Passthrough is working ok, its playing fine. But there is also "red mute icon" and no sound from the kodi user interface.

[fritsch]

Yes. Currently debugging with a user an PA 7.1 on IRC.

It's a PA bug yes - we are looking for a workaround.

Can you please add this code:

Hi,
I don't know how to recompile. Sadly, it's beyond my abilities.
Someone else?

[fritsch]

Yeah - we found a fix, which will go into version 16 ...

15.x is dead from a dev point of view.

[mianosm]

Another user on Fedora 23 checking in - just wanted to post and thank fritsch.

Looking forward to 16 now, this was a minor inconvenience.

[fritsch]

Did you try the fix? Would be bad - if it would not work for you.

No (I did not go the route of a patch and recompile), I was simply commenting and providing feedback for the future fix in version 16 (I'm currently sourcing my Kodi updates via rpm fusion as well).

[fritsch]

Yeah - it would be really good for me / for all PA users - if you could build master branch and check if it's working. The above patch is _not_ the patch, this is just for logging.
