I can confirm that the bug I saw seems to be identical to the one in the
above ticket.
If you're reading the list and have this issue where digital sound is
garbled or sounds like it's being played through a fan, you can do the
following.
- update to the latest svn
- install liba52-dev
- add '--enable-liba52bin --disable-decoder=ac3 --enable-decoder=liba52'
to your config line
- recompile
Works great now. Thanks to markspieth for the tip in that trac ticket.
