As seen on Reddit:
Doubt if this is the ‘passthru’ we all want but then who knows?
Hey @james any developer insights into the potential capabilities of this new passthrough api mentioned in the links above? Thanks.

Does this mean what I think it means?
Looks very interesting!
We’ll definitely be looking into this to see what the implications and limitations are.

I think it is.

Fingers crossed! It’s the one feature that would make all other media players obsolete for me (the slight upgrade in TV-led DV I can easily live without).
Fingers crossed 
What is the current state with how Infuse handles P7 FEL? I’m currently using a Ugoos for my disc rips in my home theater. I’d love to consolidate to Apple TV, which I use for streaming.
OMG is this for real?
My understanding is that it’s an Apple TV limitation (that it can’t output DV FEL), so you’ll probably want to keep your Ugoos for that.
Yeah I agree, I don’t care about DV P7 as much as I care about audio pass-through

If I can finally ditch my Shield and use only Apple TV, damn that would be good news.
DV FEL won’t be happening I’m pretty sure but I can live with that. I want Atmos and DTS:X passthrough so much

Even if it was just Atmos I would be okay with that. Have less than 5% on DTSX.

It would be good if it were optional, that is, if there was a function within Infuse that does passthrough and disables it and keeps it as it is.

Yes, I think it would definitely need to be optional as there are devices which have limitations in what kind of audio formats they support. Also, some VoiceOver things may not play well with passthrough.
Still lots to explore…

I’m thrilled to hear of this development from Apple, but I’m over the moon to hear this response from the Firecore team… I’m looking forward to seeing what you make of it. I’ve signed up for the Infuse TestFlight beta too

I’m pretty sure this is going to be the same passthrough as MacOS got last year. So no TrueHD Atmos. Possibly formats currently supported can be passed to an amp to decode rather than everything coming out PCM or reencoded AC3 which would be a start but I think Bluray rippers are going to be disappointed once again.
We’ll see…
