New description:

 The Android port uses OpenSL ES for audio. However this only caters for
 stereo. AC3 passthrough seems to work intermittently on Shield for some
 sound systems, however it does not work with Fire stick and likely will
 not work with others.

 I plan to implement a new audio method using android.media.!AudioTrack.
 This allows audio with many encodings including AC3, DTS, E_AC3 to be
 decoded or passed through based on the capabilities of the system.
