Just to quote my daughter on a long road trip..

I don't care about a few hickups, or about plug-ins...

dlmh Wrote:Do you use bitstreaming for HD audio? If I remember correctly, only ATi/AMD HD5xxx videocards, Intel Core i3/i5 GPU's and some Auzentech and Asus cards support full bitstreaming of DTS-HD (MA) and Dolby TrueHD.There is no HD Audio support in XBMC at the moment (unless you want to use the DSPlayer branch))- WASAPI has no bearing on 'bitstreaming' audio. WASAPI merely allows the passthrough of flac/pcm audio unmolested by the windows sound mixer.
But I guess as long as WASAPI works, HD audio works as well?
Edit: forgive my ignorance. Just noticed that the Auzentech HD audio cards are actually the X-FI cards you mentioned, I thought that it was a Creative thing...
Edit2: ow... it actually is a Creative thing...

WASAPI merely allows the passthrough of flac/pcm audio unmolested by the windows sound mixer.I'd like to be able to get bit-perfect audio for music files, which apparently can be done using a patch developed by ArtVandelae and WASAPI driver and the DVDPlayer, and also bitstreamed TrueHD and DTS MA for video, which apparently can be done using DSPlayer. I know one can use different players for audio and video files, but is there a version of XBMC for Windows that would let me do both of these two things?
