Could AE detect if I plug my mini-optical into my MacBook and then automatically switch to passthrough and switch back to analog output when I remove it?
(Add the moment I need set this up manually and when I forgot that last time I used DTS in XBMC I almost become deaf because of the digital noise coming through my analog head phones :p)

Hmm yea, I see, come to think about it, that's quite logical. Thanks for AE!

First I want to thank you for your hard work with AE. It is by far the most exiting thing to happen to XBMC in a long time. It's not like there haven't been alot to be exited about all the time. AE just tops the list.
Support for HD audio and higher quality playback is so great. The most exiting part for me though is finally being able to play my multichannel FLAC music.
I have one question I was hoping to get answered. Will there be support for DTS music files in the future?
It doesn't appear to work at the moment. But I haven't looked that much into it yet.

Hey DriftIce - welcome to the forums. I can't give a date for that - best I can tell you is we have three very capable OSx devs on the team, and the one who wrote the majority of the CoreAudio portions of AudioEngine has been busy with the Raspberry PI port - with luck he'll be able to get back to the DTS-MA/TrueHD code for OSx shortly!
System: XBMC HTPC with HDMI WASAPI & AudioEngine - Denon AVR-3808CI - Denon DVD-5900 Universal Player - Denon DCM-27 CD-Changer
- Sony BDP-S580 Blu-Ray - X-Box 360 - Android tablet wireless remote - 7.1 Streem/Axiom/Velodyne Surround System
If I have been able to help feel free to add to my reputation +/- below - thanks!

Thanks for the info DDDamian,
Elaboration of OSX support for DTS-MA/TrueHD in XBMC seems to be very difficult, next to impossible: to the best of my knowledge, there's nothing *native* available for that so far. Hence, your team is going to write something revolutionary (IMO, no exaggeration). I wish you luck!

Memphiz,
Sounds fatal:o(. Most probably you're right - purely native support is impossible. However, haven't you thought about embedding of possible workaround/s? For instance, "the required 192kHz/8 channels mode" becomes perfectly functional for excellent 24bit multichannel playback on my MacBook Pro* thru HDMI/MiniDisplay port via Crossover > Foobar'2000 > WASAPI plugin.
