#837: A52 (ac3/Dolby Digital) encoding for SPDIF / Pulseaudio ----------------------+----------------------------------------------------- Reporter: mcarans | Owner: lennart Type: defect | Status: new Milestone: | Component: module-alsa-* Resolution: | Keywords: ----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
Comment(by mcarans): I have found something that works for a while. I add to .asoundrc: # Rate Converter to 48kHz, needed for Pulseaudio it seems pcm.Filter_RateConvert { type rate slave { pcm "Filter_A52Encode" rate 48000 } } and in default.pa: load-module module-alsa-sink device=Filter_RateConvert rate=48000 channels=6 tsched=0 sink_properties=device.description=SPDIF sink_name=SPDIF Music plays through AC3 via SPDIF through Pulseaudio and Alsa, but when I close the application (eg. Rhythmbox music player), the SPDIF output "disappears". I have attached a new back trace: pulseaudiooutput_rateconverter.txt I think it's here where the Filter_RateConvert sink gets unloaded for some reason: I: client.c: Freed 1 "Rhythmbox" I: protocol-native.c: Connection died. I: module.c: Unloading "module-alsa-sink" (index: #4). D: module-always-sink.c: Autoloading null-sink as no other sinks detected. How can I prevent this unloading? -- Ticket URL: <http://pulseaudio.org/ticket/837#comment:9> PulseAudio <http://pulseaudio.org/> The PulseAudio Sound Server _______________________________________________ pulseaudio-tickets mailing list pulseaudio-tickets@mail.0pointer.de https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-tickets
