You mean the system settings (there is an option and device support precondition) and i the stockplayer settings (there is no option). You need the option for the player too... like in xbmc available. That is the problem of the most Players in Android Market - no passtrough option.

other problem:
1. the aspect ratio is´nt correct -> player options in xbmc are changing the screen bar sector only (movies are always rendered to fullscreen) - not the movie itself are changing - circles in movies look like eggs... ( /sys/class/video/axis have r/w permission)
2. movies running for a long time ok, then will the sound (HDMI passthrough, equally whether stereo or dts) after 20-30 minutes to the AVR Pioneer VSX-921 dropout. The AVR Display switched to stereo, an then i have video only, no sound.
