I've been following the XBMCbuntu guide for setting up XBMC with Ubuntu (10.10 - amd64) and I'm trying to configure HDMI audio.
I've followed the guide (linked above) that has you making a bunch of changes to the ALSA configuration but I have a question.
Will this allow AC3 and DTS to pass-through over the HDMI cable? ...or is it sending only 5.1 / 7.1 PCM audio? Also, is it sending the audio untouched or is it uncompressing/recompressing it?
EDIT: Are those guides the most recent versions? I'm noticing that refer to very old posts from 2009 (re: HDMI audio having 2-3 seconds lag [hopefully this has been fixed!], etc...)
