'cause I didn't :-( Sorry for the very late reply, I have difficulty testing this as the test machine has only PC speakers. However, after much pain I did manage to get df_xine to compile, using the git version :( When I set the pass through and played something then the audio came out of the speakers, so I'm guessing that audio passthrough is not working but I need to do some more test.

Hello again,
I noticed that I can no longer get fbxine to play DVDs or AVI's
containing DD audio (which I obviously want passed through to my
surround receiver) when launched from Freevo.
When trying this, I can see the video on my TV for some seconds (I guess
less than 10), but there is no audio.
When trying to launch the particular AVI with the *exact same* command
line reported in */var/log/freevo/main-0.log*, outside Freevo, in a SSH
console, the movie plays audio decoded in my external DD-receiver, and
doesn't stop by itself. The command is:
fbxine --stdctl -V DirectFB -A alsa --no-lirc
--post='pp:quality=10;expand'
'file:///mnt/other/MediaPool/Media/Video/Movies/Anger Management (2003)
- Divx5.05 - DD5.1 - CD1.avi'
When playing other AVI's, without DD or dts tracks, which have to be
decoded by fbxine and then passed as PCM to the S/P-DIF, they also play
fine even launched from Freevo.
Unfortunately, I can't find any relevant logging. Anyone can confirm?
In local_conf.py make sure that these are set:
DEBUG = 1
CHILDAPP_DEBUG = 1
LOGGING = logging.DEBUG
then the output should be logged in main-0.log.
Thanks, I'm using those all the time, but in this case, the log is
looking the same, for media containing DD or just PCM/MPEG audio.
I don't know what the correct fbxine argument for audio pass-through is
may be someone can enlighten me :) so I can check.
Alright, there isn't a switch, but config file settings. If otherwise
your S/P-DIF output routes at least PCM to your external amp, then make
sure your ~/.xine/config file contains the following settings for pass
through mode:
# device used for 5.1-channel output
# string, default: iec958:AES0=0x6,AES1=0x82,AES2=0x0,AES3=0x2
audio.device.alsa_passthrough_device:iec958:AES0=0x2,AES1=0x82,AES2=0x0,AES3=0x2
# speaker arrangement
# { Mono 1.0 Stereo 2.0 Headphones 2.0 Stereo 2.1 Surround 3.0
# Surround 4.0 Surround 4.1 Surround 5.0 Surround 5.1 Surround 6.0
# Surround 6.1 Surround 7.1 Pass Through }, default: 1
audio.output.speaker_arrangement:Pass Through
I think I had to adapt the device setting for my card (don't remember
how long I did that and where to get the information from, but the
default is said to work for most cards.
Thanks, I had to something similar at one time with my AMD64 machine
MPLAYER_AO_DEV = 'alsa:device=hw=0.0'
but in later drivers I found a hidden, in the GUI setting, IIRC it was
IEC958 Playback AC97-SPSA which need to be changed.
