To all of those using the xbmc-xvba-testing:
Since three days we are shipping a new AudioEngine by default. ActiveAE is a complete rewrite of SoftAE and has some advanced features. To only name some of them:
- Correct delay calculation
- Sink is in its own thread, so underruns caused by busy audio engine should not appear anymore
- Audiophile by default, if you turn off crossfading
- CPU load is massively reduced
- New Gui setting to disable / enable streaming of "noise" - that keeps some AVR pcm signals up
If you are using a slow AVR (meaning it has approx 200 ms delay when the first sound is started), you should enable the new setting in the Gui. For the rest give it a try and check for underruns.
