Hi,
I'm getting some sound problems with all Frodo betas. I'm using amd64 build on Nvidia Ion box with NVidia [HDA NVidia], ALC887 soundcard connected by TOSlink to an external amp. Now, I have to choose as audio device "ALC887 Digital" while previously (on version 11) it worked also on default.
1. I can't get <streamsilence>0</streamsilence> to work. From what I understood it should even be default behaviour. However, XBMC blocks audio device all the time. It doesn't happen when I chose device to be "analog".
2. I lost bit-perfect playback. I have an easy and extremally rigorous test method - a DTS file disguised as a .wav. If audioplayer sends it perfectly to the hardware decoder, then it picks it up as DTS and decodes it. However, if any change in the stream occured (samplerate, amplification, sample format conversion), I only hear static. With version 11 I could play those files, but now I can't. I tried enabling <audiophile>1</audiophile> but that didn't help either.
Apart from those problems, everything works fine.
