Ah ok the description of the thread made me think it was talking about
passthrough specifically for the NVIDIA HDMI ports. ie having
audio/video sent through as is and the receiver does the decoding of the
audio/video stream.
Quote "Hey,
Here's a patch that I created for git that adds passthrough support for
the Nvidia hdmi port. Pretty much just copy/paste from the iec958
sections."
So what is this patch for then exactly?
It seems obsolete. Passthrough detection is not hard coded through names
such as "hdmi-passthrough-output" any more, AFAICT.
Also is there any reason why my receiver is only getting 44Khz and not
any higher sampling rates?
If pulse audio already supports passthrough is it just a matter of the
likes of VLC etc coding support for it?
Yes. Also I'm unsure how the detection of what formats the receiver
supports is implemented yet, or if you have to set it manually through
pavucontrol (which again did not make it into 11.10)?
Regards,
Peter

Hi there,
I just found this post:
https://tango.0pointer.de/pipermail/pulseaudio-discuss/2011-March/009291.html
Is this relevant to HDMI passthrough to receivers IE: so the NVIDIA
isn't decoding the audio stream, allowing the receiver to get DTS-HD MA,
True HD, FLAC etc encoded streams and do the decoding on the receiver??
Because at the moment I only get PCM on my receiver from the NVIDIA,
where as in Windows 7 I can use powerdvd which passes through the signal
for the receiver to decode, in Ubuntu I have no options to do that.
The a52 sink is not in Ubuntu for patent reasons [1], but that's only
about encoding.
Passthrough is, unless Arun corrects me, about having already compressed
data being decoded in the receiver. Ubuntu 11.10's pulseaudio has
support for that, but the rest of the pieces aren't there - in
particular, no client application supports PulseAudio's passthrough API
yet.
