The pulseaudio part of this bug has been fixed in Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" thanks to the update to pulseaudio 1:1.0-0ubuntu1.
Currently, the only client to support passthrough output is the GStreamer PulseAudio plugin. This will be available in the next release (0.10.31) of gst-plugins-good. Once this is installed, you should be able to have passthrough output just work with Totem and most other players that use playbin2. See http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/Passthrough for more info on passthrough configuration. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to totem in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/28177 Title: [totem-gstreamer] AC3 pass-through option not selectable Status in Totem Movie Player: Confirmed Status in “totem” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: When trying to activate the AC3 pass-through option in the Audio properties dialog it doesn't do so.
