The 24/96 Elvis Costello track should play beautifully - but I see lot's of

I narrowed down the flac playback problem to the "sync video to display" being enabled. With that turned off, hi-res flac plays fine. Still no joy with dts, though. That's strange, because even standard XBMC makes the DTS light come up on my receiver.

The log is cut off because at that point XBMC just froze trying to play the DTS :S

Good to hear - I don't recommend the "sync video to display" for any high-def audio - or in general for that matter.

Can you post a log trying only the Peter Gabriel video? I play it on mine fine. I know that it is one of the very few out there that uses DTS 96/24 audio, so it may be that your audio device doesn't handle DTS 96/24 and standard XBMC is playing the core DTS track.
