I think we are getting away from the true point of the post.
Is AAC Passthrough really working from XBMC side? From my testing it seems not to work.
Is somebody that knows the design of the new Audio Engine could comment on this would be great, if needed I can provide debug logs. Or is the new Audio Engine smart to determine what is supported for passthrough ?

It's being transcoded to AC3 by ffmpeg. I have not yet seen (or got my hands on) a receiver that natively decodes AAC.

If I have been able to help feel free to add to my reputation +/- below - thanks!

That information is wiki worthy and Ive updated the wiki accordingly on both AC3 and AAC parts.

Damain, I updated that page also today to try and make the Audio Output operation clearer with the Analog/SPDIF/HDMI options as well as some other tweaks, have a browse when you've got time in case I've made any mistakes.

Thank you
your welcome, Its a small way of contributing to XBMC since cannot understand code and brain is incapable of much else.

haha! It would be great before you made a first post in Forums you had to read the FAQ's and use forums search too and the stickies.
RTFM would take a whole new meaning and be the most hated and feared topic on the intrawebs again.
Which reminds me, the wiki should have language options, because like me (not being native English speaker/writer/reader many of us dont actually read/speak/write English eh?!

With the new wiki skin or whatever please consider adding automatic google translate links (flags ?) hint suggestion! also is there a beta preview wip I can use for wiki?
