When using "Sync playback to display" option, isn't bitstreaming disabled anyway? Kodi decodes audio and sends multichannel PCM to HDMI.
Not sure how many people use 'Sync Playback to Display' - compared to 'Adjust Refresh Rate' (which preserves bitstreaming)
Sync Playback was really useful when 23.976 vs 24.000 issues prevailed - but they have largely been resolved. Similarly it was good in the early days to watch 23.976/24.000 at 50Hz on displays that didn't accept 24p natively and display it properly (Lots of us Europeans found 3:2 at 60Hz less preferable to 4% speed up at 50Hz)
