As I was saying, this chipset presents a protected audio path. I just don't have a Blu-ray drive to test the media playback with, but I could probably install ArcSoft's player, and "find" some BD .m2ts files to see if I can pass the bitstream.
Though from other posts here, I'm opposed to bitsteaming, it was a hack born out of the lack of hardware support in the Laser Disc days, that continued through DVDs, but its time has come to an end. With BD's doing live mixing of various audio information, and DSP bugs like the DTS bomb, it just makes sense to do the decoding in the easily (and frequently) upgraded player and just pass the LPCM to the receiver.
