[xine-user] AC3 Passthrough

[Simon F. <Nig...@gm...>]

Hi there!

I have an external AC3 (Dolby Digital 6.1) receiver and a creative 
soundblaster supporting ac3 passthrough with up-to-date drivers. Now I 
want to enable the ac3 passthrough feature in xine for passing the ac3 
stream directly to my external receiver for decoding. I have enabled the

audio.a52_pass_through:1

in my xine conf (~/.xine/config), but the receiver does not switch to 
dolby digital mode (like it does if I use dvds on an external dvd 
player) while playing .vob files (with ac3 dolby digital 5.1 stream).

What could be wrong? I use this xine:

This is xine (X11 gui) - a free video player v0.9.13

does this version support a52_pass_trough? How can I test if the option 
is really enabled?

Thanks
