However, I have one BR rip with multichannel flac that refuses to play nice. When I start the movie it says, Audio Device Failed to Initialize. It works fine on my Vista HTPC running XBMC so I must be missing something once again.
Great news. Should have noted before that i'm not on Ubuntu and have a more recent ALSA shipped with my distro (1.0.20 as well). Good to know that this makes such a difference.
As for your second problem: I suppose it gets passed bitperfect through the passthrough device - which does not support the number of channels/samplerate. Could you pastbin a log while playing the file and run "mediainfo" on the file ?
Cheers.
