Hey thanks for the update.
I just tried it, with xbmc built without pulse audio (and the daemon paused before starting xbmc), it only sees my motherboard output (ie the intel one) not the hdmi ATI one.
It also freezes when going through default (not sure why? maybe because on my system default is pulse).
I rebuilt xbmc with pulse support and started it without pausing pulse and this time it all works!
I can play passthrough or decoded streams with no problem: that's a first since I started using XBMC!
I always had to kill/pause pulse to get passthrough before.
Last annoying thing, is that when I pause the passthrough stream in XBMC, I can see that my receiver sees that (for example it switched from DTS to multichannel stereo), BUT no other player can access the audio...
output from mplayer while a DTS movie is paused in XBMC:
AO: [pulse] Init failed: Device or resource busy
Failed to initialize audio driver 'pulse'
This might be a pulse issue and not xbmc though...
Anyway thanks!
