If I may ask, what are the "magic status bits"? Are they the same as the AES bits? Speaking of which, what's the use of the AES# bits? I looked on the internet but couldn't find what these bits mean. If AES# aren't the same as the magic bits, is there anything in there I can try playing with? (don't think you need these, but hey) xine with dolby passthru: iec958:AES0=0x6,AES1=0x82,AES2=0x0,AES3=0x2 ac3dec with -C: iec958:AES0=0x2,AES1=0x82,AES2=0x0,AES3=0x2 ac3dec with -P: iec958:AES0=0x87,AES1=0x0,AES2=0x0,AES3=0x0 On a sidenote, ac3dec never makes the clicking noise; only xine does that. But, I noticed that ac3dec always makes a click when I first start playing. Could this be a result of the different AES# configuration? BTW, I am using a Cambridge Soundworks DTT2500 digital receiver. Another user suggested switching to digital input _after_ starting the stream. Well, I can't select digital or analog, but I can select analog or auto, so I leave it on auto. This done, I tried playing a stream in xine _before_ turning the receiver on, I don't get the clicking sound. The only sounds I hear then are a click/hiss when I change chapters on the DVD. Question: does the first bit of the stream have to "setup" the receiver to receive an AC3 stream?
