Hi,
I am using XBMC on my linux-based HTPC and have the following problem.
I have two sound-cards. The one I am using just for the digital output for my surround system and the other is for the analog output to my headphones. If I want to change between these outputs I always have to go the hardware settings and change nearly all the settings (Downmix, Output Devices, Analog/Digital etc.).
Now I am wondering if it wouldn't be possible to add something like Audio Profiles so that you can simply add a new profile for all these settings and call them "Headphones" or "Surround System" and between which you can directly switch, you know?
I think this is even if you have just one sound-card, you have to change the whole setting to choose you headphones-out.
If I am totally wrong and my problem is much easier to handle, please tell me .
