There are a few things missing for me to have xbmc+pulse working well with a surround system over HDMI: - volume control when in passthrough mode - volume control via the amplifier; I see 2 methods here: - either via HDMI CEC, but from the latest spec the only available commands are volume-up and volume-down, no way to directly set a volume, nor to calibrate it properly - via a serial cable, it's amp-specific but more capable - [off topic] more than 2 PCM channels via HDMI radeon drivers Xav
