As of today, our bug report with Apple is still open. We've submitted full technical details about the issue, and Apple asked for additional info in a follow-up - which seems to indicate the issue was introduced inadvertently, and they have at least some interest in fixing it.
If/when Apple actually intends to fix this is unclear, but at this point there is no reason to believe this change was intentional. It's also possible this change is part of larger, more sweeping audio related changes coming in tvOS 12, so we'll have to see what Apple introduces in the betas coming later this summer."

That's good news.

SIgh... We said that Apple broke it, Apple must fix it. VLC said it was removed.

Did Apple ever mention anything else about this since the message from the Infuse guys above?
