Update: I think I have found the problem. Xine by default will use pulse audio, which does not support AC3 pass thru.
Workarounds: 1. use "xine -Aalsa" 2. move /usr/lib/xine/plugins/1.20/xineplug_ao_out_pulseaudio.so to /usr/lib/xine/plugins -- Can't get AC3 Passthru to work in Totem-xine https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/238181 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to totem in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
