PulseAudio doesn't support DTS-HD, mostly because I had no way to test it. I think it should be reasonably straight-forward to add support. If you can test this, I can try to put up a patch somewhere.
Edit: I just remembered that cbxbiker61's branch is using passthrough a bit differently from the default, so it's probably working just fine. Specifically, it's not using the new formats API (which would allow users to set what formats their receiver supports and then have XBMC negotiate a format with PA). It's doing bitstreaming similar to how it works with ALSA. That's possibly next steps if cbxbiker61's still up to it.
Great work, btw!
