Those are the only two version that I have tried so far. This problem
is a recent one however. It exhibits itself when playing a DVD movie
(The Matrix, region one) with xine. I have spoken to a xine developer,
and he was of the opinion that it was an ALSA problem, not a xine one.
So I am reporting this here.
During the beginning Warner Bros. logo clip, the sound has a
helicopter-effect going on (you hear the sound, but broken up by a
whop-whop-whop-whop noise). This stops once the DVD menu is reached,
but begins again for the actual movie.
There are a few interesting differences between the clips that do and
don't work. The one's that do not work on 4 channel, and use a buffer
size of 8192 bytes. The one that does is only 2 channels, and has a
buffer size of 16384. Is it possibly that there is a bug (hardware or
software) in the usage of this small buffer size?
If I tell xine not to use four-channel sound, the two problematic clips
sound perfect. However, they are then played as 2 channel clips, again
with the 16384 buffer size.
Four channel playback did work at one time. Possibly in the beta10 era.
If there is interest, I will try reverting to this version, and testing
for the problem there. Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks
