hey, wow - finally! :)
and this seems to be xine 0.5 code, very nice!

I neither have a sb live nor a hardware ac3 decoder, but I'd like to
comment on your code:

the code looks very nice and as far as I can see, it doesn't break any
existing features (will test it tomorrow), just the way I like it :-)

I see you disabled package dropping, but inserting 0-samples is still in
the code?!

I wonder why package dropping is such a problem, though - as long as you
drop complete package the ac3 decoder IMHO shouldn't get upset. Otherwise
you risc that audio playback becomes async to video.

Cheers,
