A few weeks back one of the developers put out a test version of 1.19
that worked for me on the RPi but not on the RPi2

Although
^^^ Interesting. I realize you know much more about this stuff than I
do, but I'm still wondering if there are other possible causes for your

When playing (44k1/16) audio using Pi HDMI port, via HDMI to SPDIF
converter, of known HDCD material to a HDC
