Further testing has shown that this is a pulseaudio problem. When I have my audio device set to "Digital Surround 7.1" as it should be, passthrough will not work in any app I test (kodi and vlc). My options are here in this image: http://i.imgur.com/3zkMsGy.png I do have the passthrough settings checked as can be seen in this image: http://i.imgur.com/N7KMCZc.png If I downgrade my settings to the "Digital Stereo" option then passthrough will work for some reason. Is this a limitation/regression in pulseaudio? Or do I simply have some configuration set wrong?
