Don't really know if this still relates to ActiveAE though (admitted I haven't tried using SoftAE), but found out about two things regarding PAPlayer:

- MP3/CUE: After playback advances over two CUE items (e.g. let playback run from track 1 to 3), setting the playback speed (fast forward, rewind) doesn't work anymore. When using the GUI/fullscreen music popup, clicking the ffwd/rew buttons doesn't change the playback speed anymore, the play/pause button however changes to the play symbol (as if it really was fastforwarding).

- This one seems really strange, and could reproduce in passthrough (HDMI) mode so far yet: When starting playback of a folder with a bunch of DTS-WAV files (complete album, one file per track), it plays normally until the end, and then instead of advancing to the next file in the folder (track1->track2), it advanced over multiple files, eventually advancing beyond the last file, so after the first track playback stops. When this happens, looking at the GUI it seems PAPlayer does open each file, but then does some decisions, closes it and advances further. As initially mentioned, this does not happen when letting XBMC decode the audio and output as two-channel (audio mode: analog).

Probably unrelated to ActiveAE (have verified this one with SoftAE):

- Assume "audio mode: analog" and two channels: Starting a movie/video (using DVDPlayer) containing a DTS audio track, one can hear a short (40ms or so) noise, as if audio wasn't decoded, or if a buffer wasn't initialised before it first was sent to the audio output. Guess the latter is the case, as every consecutive play of the same file makes a different "noise". During experimenting with this, I'm sure I also noticed this with an AC3 audio track, but couldn't reproduce last time I checked (after loads of ActiveAE went into master).
