Well that is a shame, many of use would like to use 5.1 for movies, but only need 2 channel through the TV for 90% of my watching. Windows actually needs much too much interaction to change between the outputs each time which makes this patch a viable and useful idea to many of us.
While I don't technically need both at the same time, I do need XBMC to detect the channels and output according to it.. I.e 2 channel sounds goes to HDMI and 5.1 via SPDIF. (Is that perhaps going to be possible with the newer AE?)
Having to leave my amp on all the time just for two channel sound is a huge inconvenience for myself, and XBMC does everything else perfectly well, so it's a shame that a better options can be not be found or even looked at IMO.
I understand it may be too hard for the newer AE developers to implement, but it seems that this patch has worked for many without issues, which makes me think it could be done none the less.
Tis a shame, but thanks for the link.
