Already planning on doing this:

But on Kodi 17 betas there are currently no sound or white noise with IEC 61937 pass-through on Marshmallow and Lollipop.

How do you use "IEC passthrough" on current beta? Cause I explicitely don't allow that anymore. If you talk of AML boxes - then they - in their great wisdom - overwrote the ENCODING_xy fields but want IEC instead, which is NOT what the Audiotrack API wants them to take. So basically they end up with getting RAW PT .... and try to interpret it as IEC.

So - if you talk of this API - then it's no backport, but a specialized "side development" misusing given API fields.
