I think his complaint is with the soundtouch resync, not your patch.

The reason I asked about passthru was because of the change in
SoundTouch::putSamples(). That change is intended to get rid of
that click/thunk sound you sometimes get when you switch to and
from 1.0 time-stretch. But I could also see it throwing off an
AC3/DTS decoder because the intermediate blocks the AC3/DTS
signature might be there but the data could be corrupted by the
resampling.
