Hey list,
I'd like to be able to stream DTS-HD Master Audio bits out the HDMI port
in their compressed form - not decompressed to LPCM. I'll let the
receiver handle the decoding.
From what I can gather, this may be possible with the ALSA API,
provided the HDMI port is >= 1.3 and the audio card supports high
bit-rate (HBR).
Is my thinking way off? Is there a more suitable API or approach for
this? If it requires specific hardware, I am less concerned about that
as I am the feasibility of the end goal.
Regards,
