Hi there,
Have had two installation of Dharma beta1 - one on x86_64, installed from scratch and another one is x86_32 upgrade. Both working fine, in general, with a few not so serious issues. This what the system I tested on:
I've three crashes so far, twice playing audio - those were not mono-audio but 320kbps mp3 files; crashed when change to another song whilst playing to one. Another time watching iso movies, when I stopped it whilst it was playing. That mostly happen due to [somehow] corrupted database. Is there any thing changed in mysql schema?
Two things I noticed, seem to be a bit odd to me.
First, even though I'm using HDMI, specifying any thing - HDMI, Analog or Optical/Coax - for the Audio output still works. Is it normal?
2nd thing: If any sort of Digital Pass-through is used, doesn't it the fact that control go to the receiver, rather than on the device itself? But I can still control the volume on the computer, especially when I listen to the music. Can any one please explain what am I missing here? Cheers!!
