VDR xine-lib output device

5 No AC3 pass-through anymore - ID: 1822236

Last Update: Comment added ( schlot )

Details:

Since updating xine-lib and xineliboutput, there is no AC3 audio anymore.

I use xineliboutput-cvs (from 2007-10-29) and xine-lib 1.1.8.

My sound system is a SBLive using alsa and I have a receiver connected via
S/PDIF (AC3-pass through).

Date: 2008-02-26 22:40 Sender: schlot As far as I can tell, the SPDIF AES bits are set wrong. If I start VDR on a channel with AC3 sound, everything works as long as I do not watch a channel with stereo sound. As soon as VDR plays a stereo stream, it cannot output AC3 afterwards. Then I have to restart VDR to make AC3 work again. This makes watching a DVD quite difficult, as they usually only have an AC3 soundtrack. If I watched a stereo channel before, DVD will play without any sound. I have an SBLive (emu10k1). I tried in-kernel driver as well as alsa-drivers without success. Same problem with another machine having Intel HD Audio. ALSA works all right, as I can play both PCM and AC3-files via "aplay", even dts-files work without problems when played via console. Repetitions in any order do not result in any problems. So I blame either xine-lib or xineliboutput. I use xine-lib 1.1.8 and xineliboutput from cvs (problem still occurs as of Feb 26, 2008). Any help appreciated.
