List of codecs for which compressed audio passthrough should be used. This
works for both classic S/PDIF and HDMI.
- Possible codecs are ``ac3``, ``dts``, ``dts-hd``. Multiple codecs can be
- specified by separating them with ``,``. ``dts`` refers to low bitrate DTS
- core, while ``dts-hd`` refers to DTS MA (receiver and OS support varies).
- If both ``dts`` and ``dts-hd`` are specified, it behaves equivalent to
- specifying ``dts-hd`` only.

In earlier mpv versions you could use ``--ad`` to force the spdif wrapper.
This does not work anymore.

If the channel layout of the media file (i.e. the decoder) and the AO's
channel layout don't match, mpv will attempt to insert a conversion filter.
