Feature request: AC3/EAC3 passthrough in Cast receiver for Android TV.
That is, skip the decoding process and send the compressed (E)AC3 data to AudioTrack directly.
This feature is useful when a user connects a sound bar with (E)AC3 supported into an ATV. We can pass the raw (E)AC3 bitstream to the sound bar, and the sound bar will decode and render the audio.
