i know there is limits in the RPi when it comes to HD sound, shure i can leave it as it is, but when i read the text i was wondering more because what i have searched the net ALSA got better preformance on passthrough than Pulseaudio, but RPi can't handle the bitstreaming so therefore is pulse better. but it was more a fun thing to try .
