I think HD audio bitstream will become a common feature on players released over the next couple of months. It may also be applied to some current players via a FW update.
The issue has been compounded by the need for HDMI 1.3a to support this feature. This is now starting to be a more common option on the recently announced players.
Personally what I'm waiting for -
Support for final standard profile (aka 1.1) - must have
Support for BDlive (aka profile 2) - must have
HD audio bitstream support over HDMI - must have
Feedback that the players operational perfromance is good even with BD-J titles - must have
1080p/24 - must have
Sensible price point - must have
Internal HD audio decoding for Dolby True HD and DTS HD MA - nice to have
Analogue 5.1/7.1 ouput - nice to have
