DS was configured with default settings (16bit, 48kHz).
Everything went fine without any stutter or failure.
On Win7 disabling WASAPI breaks passthrough as expected. Wondering if Win8 does things differently.
In fact, I have reinstalled everything without changes to the installation defaults: Win8 CP with AMD Catalyst, AMD HDMI, and XBMC. Passthrough is fine with every output device option available: primary sound device, AMD DirectSound, AMD WASAPI. I.e. passthrough is supposed work out-of-the-box.
