Do I need an additional program to have DTS and TrueHD sound from bluray rips? (mkv files )

I have read that XBMC (10.1) can just pass through the raw sound to my receiver ( HDMI connection ) I have also read I need XBMC to launch an external player ( MPC HC ) in order to get bitstreaming to work so my Onkyo receiver will decode DTS/Dolby Pro/TrueHD sound.

Can someone please explain which one is true? Smile

system: i3/sandybridge H67 MoBo
HDMI cable to Onkyo 705 receiver.

Thanks!

Not believe AVSForum users? This has already been explained to you over on their forum.

At this time HD Audio bitstreaming cannot be achieved natively in XBMC (the new Audio Engine branch currently being developed will remedy that). In the meantime an external player is required.
