hey there,

i've built xbmc from source for pulsaudio support. building does not work unless i disable mysql, it complains about mysql.h missing

Code:

In file included from Database.cpp:37:0:
mysqldataset.h:26:25: fatal error: mysql/mysql.h: No such file or directory
#include "mysql/mysql.h"
                         ^
compilation terminated.

but that's another topic. now to my main question:


regarding pulseaudio passthrough:

i only get stereo output, no DTS no AC3 no 5.1. i'm wondering if it is necessary to config pulseaudio before use or should it work out of the box? forgive me, but regarding pulseaudio i am a complete newbie. i installed pavucontrol, but as i see it it is a gui program which doesn'T do me much good via ssh. or am i missing something here? where can i enable DTS, AC3 and EAC3?

i've looked around, can we enable a alsa-sink inside pulseaudio for complete passthrough support? or will that module once again hog the sound card and make stream mixing completely impossible?

thx in advance
