There is no need to load it explicitly, though, as module-udev-detect already loads it correctly. PulseAudio does not use the passthrough mode by default, because it has no idea that the receiver supports it. So you have to configure this explicitly. I recommend using pavucontrol for this. It is as easy as selecting a digital stereo profile and checking some checkboxes that correspond to what compressed formats your receiver can accept. On exit, PulseAudio will save their state, and restore this information on startup. http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=154063 -- Alexander E. Patrakov
