Huge thank you to popcornmix for "firmware: spdif: Flag compressed samples when sending passthrough over PCM". I can cornfirm that I now get working Dolby Digital and transcoding of DTS without using OMXPlayer (that didn't support transcoding to AC3), previously it would only play as PCM white noise. My configuration is RPi2 -> HDMI -> Sony TV -> Optical SPDIF -> Sony Receiver, with a clean install of OpenELEC 6.0.1 upgraded to Millhouse #0219.
Update: This fix should resolve #15825 (Raspberry DVDPlayer AC3 Passthrough)
