HD Audio and Video Card

Also, XBMC currently decompresses Dobly TrueHD to multichannel LPCM which is the same thing as TrueHD. Only DTS-HD support is missing, the "core" track (which is regular lossy DTS) is extracted and converted to LPCM, but the HD bits are lost. Bitstreaming will solve that issue for us.

I've noticed some of my TrueHD tracks are being seen as a PCM 2.0 track from my receiver when played through XBMC. It's not consistent which makes for a hell of a troubleshooting experience. I do not recall if it was all 7.1 TrueHD that is seen as 7.1.. or just 5.1... or what, but it happens.

well, i'm not going to bother doing much until it's natively part of XBMC, Toslink will suffice until then
