I'm interested with that because my TV is connected to an AVR throught TOSLINK and unfortunately the TV doesn't support AC3 or DTS passthrought from HDMI.
So the TV could receive the stereo PCM stream with embedded 5.1 and forward it as is to my receiver ?
How do receivers behave with this format ?
If your TV doesn't support passthrough through the TOSLINK cable then nothing will help.
What goes over hdmi will be the same in both cases:
with omxplayer the encapsulation into the stereo stream is handled on the GPU
with dvdplayer the encapsulation into the strereo stream is handled by the ARM.
