Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] ANNOUNCE: piCorePlayer 4.0.0

2018-12-22 Thread spyder


Dear Paul, Greg and all,

First of all, thank you for making piCorePlayer such a great player. I
tried other audioplayers on my Raspberry Pi, but this one beats them in
terms of stability and speed!

Recently I bought a X6000K-7.1CH to for a multi-room audio from
piCorePlayer. Seems like a great card with 8 outputs.

I would like to send 8 channels over HDMI to the X6000, but the current
implementation of BCM2835 limits the number of channels that can be send
over HDMI to 2. The BCM2835 would need to be patched as follows:
https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux...bb3d10f18f37dd

Note that the change that I refer to contains additional commits, but
according to what I read, this is the minimum needed to get 8 channels
to work.

How could I best apply this change? Can I compile my own kernel?

Thanks!
