What does wrong mean? IMHO the headers which bitstreamout
produce should be correct accordingly to IEC 61937. This
works with AC3, DTS and even with MP2 Audio. Only for the
later one my AV receiver has no auto detection which
requires switching my AV receiver into MP2 Audio mode by hand.

This is what a sound card should do with loop through, that means
redirect the data from its S/P-DIF in to its S/P-DIF out _without_
modifying (e.g. _NO_ resampling, clipping or so whatever sound
`washing' which kill the pure compressed data).

No, this is correct.
