I can confirm that the bug I saw seems to be identical to the one in the above ticket.<BR>
<BR>
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.<BR>
<BR>
- update to the latest svn<BR>
- install liba52-dev<BR>
- add '--enable-liba52bin --disable-decoder=ac3 --enable-decoder=liba52' to your config line<BR>
- recompile<BR>
<BR>
Works great now. Thanks to markspieth for the tip in that trac ticket.<BR>
