Support DTS Pass-through Audio

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Try to cast an MKV with DTS audio
2.Try to cast any encoded video file with DTS as the primary sound track.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
-Expected: I can hear the audio (audio is passed through)
-Actual: No audio is outputted (audio is not passed through)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
-The latest firmware

Please provide any additional information below.
-You recently altered the code to allow AC3 pass-through, however you failed to 
add the ability to have DTS pass-through.
This renders the chromecast useless (without the assistance of a PC re-encoding 
the audio track) when playing a file that has a DTS audio track.
Please tend to this.

The only valid business decision would be that a chromecast 2 was on the 
horizon with dts support  to make people upgrade.  
Otherwise, they are just losing sales to competitors.

Was going to buy chromecasts for all my TVs, no DTS support means I can't cast 
my videos. Will have to buy Roku or something else instead...

Wow. Getting tired of these messages. Want to unstar, but then there will
be 'one less vote'. As if that would mean a difference.

This is most probably *not* a technical limitation (or difficulty). This is
just a decision 'from higher up'.... Don't facilitate playback of erm...
'bootlegged' material. Seems to me this is pointless.

To me, the messages are fine. As long as i can see something is going on. I 
switched to Raspi2/kodi as long as there is no dts-support for gcast. Still, it 
would help alot as is want to minimize the amount of stuff connected to my TV.
And as long as Kodi even has 'DTS-HD MA'-Support, licenses IMHO can't be a 
proper argument for not adding it.

No DTS no Ccast. Simple. I know at least 10 people I work with who support this 
statement Google.

My chromecast has been replaced with another piece of hardware that supports 
DTS, DTS HD Master etc. Thanks for the time we had together Chromecast, but I 
will unstar this now. Your loss.

People, don't remove the star. We need more and more to grab attention
from Google.

I don't think anyone from Google is still monitoring this.

They marked Wont Fix.

I hope someone will ask this question at the Google IO: why no DTS support for 
Chromecast? Why no explanation to your users?

This is driving me crazy i will not buy a second chromecast in the future just 
for DTS there are more products that can do it.

We don't have plans to support DTS at this time. We will continue to evaluate 
this as a feature request for the future.
