Great work! I love that my receiver doesn't reset when I pause audio/video!! Once ready, this is going to be an addition that really thrusts XBMC toward consumer-level quality (though it actually well exceeds that in MANY respects already...
I'm running 32-bit Ubuntu 10.04, using hdmi output to my receiver.
Vanilla alsa 1.0.21 (ie, from package.. no custom compiles and/or hacks)
Compiled XBMC-AE r33927M
AC3 passthrough works great
DTS still broken
I find that the audio is clipping a lot, as if it is being mixed too loud? I have to reduce the volume to about 50% to minimize clipping and even then it still clips. It is the bass frequencies that are clipping.
The full debug log is here: http://www.pastebin.ca/1944667
I noticed that the audio engine was initialized at 32-bit output. I wonder if there is something happening in the conversion, or is the sample size supposed to change dynamically with the source? If I can find the code I might try hard-coding it to something lesser like 24 or 16 bits to see if it makes a difference, but I am not at all familiar with the code....
All in all, I'm super-stoked about audio-engine!!
