[xine-devel] ALSA driver for XINE (fwd)

[Guenter B. <bar...@st...>]

Hi Joachim,

attached to this mail is a xine audio output driver for ALSA 0.9
that I received from

James Courtier-Dutton <jcd...@lu...>

perhaps you can test it and check it into xine CVS?

I've implemented 4/5-channels and ac3/spdif support for the oss driver, I
can't test the ac3/spdif stuff though, so I don't know if that works.
4-channel surround is tested and works very nice for me (in fact, I'll go
out and buy two more speakers now :-)).

Please note that there have been quite some changes to libac3 over the
last few days as I synced up with walken's libac3.new and implemented the
multichannel downmixers.

If ac3/spdif doesn't work also take a look at
xine-lib/src/libac3/xine-decoder.c that's where ac3 frames are detected
and all the xine-specific stuff is handled now. libac3 itself only does
the decoding and is independant from any specific audio_out implementation
now.

Cheers,

   Guenter
