[xine-devel] MKV videos play with no AC3 sound or subtitles

[Andrew de Q. <ad...@li...>]

If I convert any video to MKV with mkvtoolsnix, xine plays only the video 
stream - no sound or subtitles. (tried mkvtoolsnix 0.9.7 AND 1.0.0).

In fact, if I use the kaffeine UI, its submenus indicate there ARE no sound or 
subtitle tracks. However, mkvinfo lists the tracks correctly. vlc, and 
mplayer play it correctly.

I'm converting FROM an AVI to an MKV - reason being I want to multiplex 
subtitles in with the file. However - the subtitles are not the factor here. 
If I just convert the AVI, I get the same erroneous behaviour.

I've tested with 1-rc7 and CVS from a couple of days ago.

Output of "xine --verbose=2" attached from 1-rc-7.


I would test with CVS from today, but compilation fails with the following
