Hi Nick,
I have
audio.device.alsa_front_device:default and
audio.output.speaker_arrangement:Pass Through set.
also the
#audio.device.alsa_passthrough_device:iec958:AES0=0x6,AES1=0x82,AES2=0x0,AES3=0x2
> #audio.device.alsa_surround51_device:plug:surround51:0
bits.
When trying to play I get : Audio device not available, please check if
yada, yada.
Only software running the audio device is Xine AFAIK.
In the xine log there's :
audio_decoder error : unknown buffer type 01060000
audio_decoder error : unknown buffer type 02000000
audio_decoder error : unknown buffer type 04000000
Been googling and fussing around for a couple of days now and haven't
got to the end of it yet. A bit frustrating really, as this was the
final hurdle to get a brand new gentoox installation running flawlessly
on my Xbox with 5.1 sound from all DVB channels that provide it, besides
running the DVD's with the best sound possible.
Best regards & happy holidays!
Johan
