to start: yes, i searched the faq. i've searched the wiki, and i've searched the forums here. i have been unable to find any specific info on what, exactly, xbmc does when upmixing stereo to all speakers.
which one of the following does xbmc do to upmix stereo media to 5.1 when using the spdif output?
stereo x2 (plays the same in both front and rear speakers)
stereo x2 with effects (simulates room acoustics)
or does it use a matrix mixer of some sort?
i ask, because out of all the various upmix setups i've heard over the years, i've become quite partial to the matrixmixer directshow filter made by the same author that made the ac3 decoder for winamp (which is also available as a directshow filter).
if xbmc does not already include such, i think i might submit a feature request on the sourceforge project.
