no, nothing is wrong with XBMC, both Versions sounds imho better than Foobar+Windows.

Conclusion is, i can't hear clear difference between XBMC with that new audio patch and no patch.

So everything is fine, devs have done a great job, ActiveAE sounds awesome.

i think the little differnece in sound is related to the HDMI and Toslink Inputs.

I will test against my CD-Player on sunday to see which output is closer to the CD.

you told me to test the new patch aginst the alpha 10 version without patch and both versions sound very good in my ears. I prefer the output from PC1, but i think this is related to the HDMI Output not to the Patch.
