OK, usually I do not feed my AV amplifier with mpa even
if it can decode this. This because it can not detect
this automatically as ti does it with PCM/AC3/DTS .
Do you have a mpa sample which demostrate the possible
dynamic range? With the help of the bitsteamout plugin it
is possible to forward the mpa to an AV amplifier/receiver.
