Hello,
Using the lastest Eden, RC3, on top of ubuntu - I think, (this is an openelec install - I don't think it's related to the OS unless XBMC hevaes differently depending on the OS), connected to by BOSE system through HDMI which is connected to my HDTV.
I'm having an issue with AAC passthrough settings with XBMC, the audio is aac, for sure, I can see that if I press 'O' to see the stream details, and also when I press 'M' to see the progressbar.
The problem:
With ALL the passthrough options enabled(even the AAC passthrough - option is enabled) and the right devices selected the audio get's to by Bose system as LPCM 2.0 - not as AAC - and I can hear everything fine.
Update the audio settings and to change the "Audio Output Device" to something else, something that would be invalid. Playing the same video stream that has the AAC audio nothing is heard in the speakers.
If my understanding is correct the above shows the XBMC recognizes the audio as AAC but doesn't obey the "AAC Passthrough". Please not that everything works OK is I watch a video stream with AC3 as audio.
Is this a bug? Is this expected? Why is XBMC transcoding the audio to LPCM even though I confiured it to pass the AAC audio the way it has it to my Bose system?
Thank you
