Unfortunately, no. In the Jellyfin 2.0.0 Roku client, the only audio-related setting I see is:
"Force all transcodes to use DTS instead of EAC3" = (Enabled/Disabled)
My receiver supports DTS, and with this set to 'enabled', FFmpeg still streams the audio in AAC... i.e.:
Stream mapping:
Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (copy)
Stream #0:1 -> #0:1 (truehd (native) -> aac (libfdk_aac))
And I also have an Atmos-only (non DTS) receiver in my game room, and even if this 'transcode to DTS' feature worked properly (not sure that it does?), the 'force transcodes to DTS' wouldn't apply in that setup.
If there was an audio passthrough feature (like you describe) in the Roku client, that would also work - though I'd still vote for a global 'direct play' feature too as I would like to direct play all the video streams in every case.
