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.
You may need to change the channel layout of the system mixer to achieve
your desired output as mpv does not have control over it. Another
work-around for this on some AOs is to use ``--audio-exclusive=yes`` to
circumvent the system mixer entirely.
