multichannel PCM, and mpv supports lossless DTS-HD decoding via
FFmpeg's new DCA decoder (based on libdcadec).
In general it is not recommended to use passthrough, since HDMI
supports uncompressed multichannel PCM, and mpv supports lossless

Generally, passthrough is not recommended because HDMI supports
