As said above, I am getting 2 ch output on a multichannel audio file (confirmed by bringing up the codec info during playback). Am I doing something wrong ?
Hey fezster - looking at the code it's currently hard-coded for exclusive mode, and I can confirm it's doing that correctly on my rig. If I set to 2ch in Windows this version does indeed play a multi-channel FLAC as multi-channel despite what the Windows settings are. So on my rig it's working correctly and in exclusive mode.
I assume you're running at least Vista w/Service Pack 1? That is required for WASAPI exclusive. If so, post a debug log - open XBMC wait 10sec then play a multichannel FLAC, close it and post your log.
