Audio Engine support?

[JayBlanc]

DTS-HD bitstreaming on the Raspi's HDMI port appears to be a legal issue rather than a development one. The DTS licensing authority say it's covered by one of their patents, and Broadcom can not allow firmware that muxes DTS-HD streams into the HDMI out without a DTS Licence.

Unlike the MPEG-LA, the DTS-LA will not offer per-user licences for DTS. This means it's very unlikely to ever happen, because the foundation will not be able to afford a DTS licence covering every board manufactured. (The likes of Nvidia can just absorb the cost so they can allow DTS-HD bitstreaming on all their desktop graphic cards.)

On a side note... Getting AudioEngine into a working state on the Raspi would be a huge benefit for people who want to use USB soundcards.
