Nature of Fault
I'm playing a movie with AC3 audio (using AC3 Passthrough) on a build taken from the osx-coreaudio branch. The movie starts fine, and the sound initially plays just as it should. If I try to skip-forward through the movie however, the sound goes silent, and the video runs slowly. From reading other posts, I suspect that the video is slowing whilst it waits on the audio to catch up. I encountered this fault on all of the AC3 movies I've tried; it's easy to recreate by simply pressing the right-arrow (small-skip-forward) during playback on my set-up.
I appreciate that this isn't a mainstream branch, but thought I'd flag the issue in any case before it's merged back into the linuxport branch. The above issue aside, I can confirm that my old Sony STR-DB930 amp happilly plays AC3 passthrough from the osx-coreaudio branch that played 'silent' under the main linuxport branch.

- A fault with the core-osxaudio branch
- A known/accepted position outside of the 'mainstream' branches
- A missing step I should be taking in my build process
