bitstreaming is possible but just for standard DTS and DD codecs, not for MA
you can decode DTS-HD and TrueHD in the software player and send it out the video card as an 8 channel uncompressed LPCM track.

Thanks for the replies. I never even thought to check if it bitstreamed HD, just assumed it would. That'll teach me.

My $0.02
Just finished building my HTPC based on an AMD A6-3650, Asus F1A75-M mobo and Win7.
I have an Onkyo TX-NR609 receiver and bitstreaming works ok. Just tested a few files with
this special build (thanks DanielaE !!!!):
- MKV container with x264 and Dolby TrueHD works fine (TrueHD icon lights up on receiver, so definitely no "core")
- MKV container with x264 and DTS works ok
- MP4 container with x264 and AAC audio works ok, PC decodes to PCM, then streams PCM over HDMI to receiver
- AVI container with XVID and MP3 audio works ok, PC decodes to PCM, then streams PCM over HDMI to receiver
I don't have rips with MA, so couldn't test those.

I tried out DanielA's xbmc built on my other computer with built in intel hd 2000.. with some usb headphones and I notice there's weird clicking in the sound for both the star wars and tron legacy videos I posted.. but they play the video fine.. whereas on my intel hd 3000 mac mini the star wars video won't even play.. stops after a few seconds

Some results from me:
Used GPU: ATI HD5450
AVR: Onkyo TX-NR3007
OS: Win7 x64
First tried with XBMCSetup-11.0+HD-audio - no luck - video stuttered - audio had hickups
Then XBMC-AE-20120406 - runs fine, tested DTS-MA (from . iso) and DTS High Res from mkv
XBMC-AE-20120406 was simply installed over existing EDEN final.
I am not sure anymore how I installed XBMCSetup-11.0+HD-audio - might be this was a complete clean install.
Thanks for making HD-audio possible :-)))))
Realy great job.
