Does anybody know if there is some progress in sending DSD over HDMI? As far as i know, this is a thing of totally impossibility due to insufficient options of the alsa-system.
So, is there any news to this topic?
No progress that I have heard of and my guess is it is unlikely to ever happen.
It needs driver support so it might be possible that one of the open source graphics driver teams could add it but I doubt there is enough demand. The Windows audio framework used by HDMI does not support DSD officially (Although there is a conspicuous gap in the stream IDs) so seems unlikely support would be added in Windows.
Long ago I had a modified ILink/Firewire driver for Windows XP and a Winamp plugin which could digitally stream multichannel DSD, demand for this was non-existent even when ILink receivers were being sold.
