FYI the known fix of stopping and restarting playback puts everything back in sync immediately

Not really. v17 uses a complete different concept for passthrough. The engine directly speaks non iec passthrough. Also the sink sync mechanism highly differs. The v17 code was written by me.

Fritsch, my apologies. You and Koying have achieved wonders for Shield users! It's a shame you both can't team up on SPMC which seems to be the future for Android. You could have both your faces chiseled into the Android equivalent of Mt Rushmore!

I am not really interested in public honors. I contribute to kodi cause of the fun it has made in the past. I am forced to code stuff at work that I sometimes don't really like in detail, in my freetime I decide what I want to code or not to code. But besides that, there is not a single problem between koying and me, so all the best with spmc.

Edit: That being said: Davilla (MrMc) has ported the v17 Audio Engine to the v16 version. With this combination the sync issues should be directly fixed, just as a hint.
