We use dmix, cause we assume especially audiophile users know what they are doing. Kodi can't configure your Linux for you.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

on Kodi audio settings you can configure a lot of settings. Wrong upsampling is something that I think the product should control.
And I have this same issue even with latest OpenElec, Raspbmc, XBian...
Now I think I disabled dmix, but kodi always outputs 16 bit audio as 24.
access: RW_INTERLEAVED
format: S24_3LE
sound quality still sucks...

Ouh yeah :-) I think we found the king of the audiophiles here, with zero clue what it means to ship a 16 bit signal in a 24 bit sink ...

I think your ironic in ALL this thread is little inappropriate...
Just take almost any USB-DAC(somebody from your friends). Listen some good record(in this case we need 24/96(88.2,192...)). Then try the same record in Volumio or Runeaudio, and then, tsust me, you will trust your ears, that at this moment KODI totally CANT correctly playback files like this... I dont know if is kernel faults or alsa, or something else.. But I know that in other configs we dont have this troubles,.. and you as man who CAN do this, could at least try to help identify the problem...
If this is too difficult for you then there's nothing to talk about. Then just say so:
"I do not want to bother with this"
...and then this 4-year old thred can be closed...
Sorry if I to pressing...

Note that bit perfect should work perfectly fine in Kodi if your hardware is capable with Linux drivers, if there's problems which turn out to indeed be caused by Kodi then this WILL be fixed if the proper debug information is supplied, and that should always start with a debug log file being supplied of you playing something.

We did even proof bit perfect by playing encoded audio through PCM but I am sure clueless taravasya won't understand what that means. Just another ..... Not worth bothering.
