Hi gnif,
i'm trying you GIT AE branch on my HTPC system.
I've an Onkyo TX-SR308 directly connected to my HTPC (mother board ASUS P5Q and NVidia 9400GT video card using HDMI audio output).
My video card doesn't create an HDMI device on the ubuntu system (i'm using ubuntu 10.10), but uses the iec958 connector of the audio card integrated in the motherboard for enable the HDMI audio output (in only an electrical connection ).
I'm using the Alsa snapshot drivers you write above and i'm testing Dolby TrueHD passthrough with "The Dark Knight" Blu-Ray (blu-ray is played under XBMC using MakeMKV and the related plugin).
When i select the Dolby TrueHD audio track, the system correctly recognize it (i can verify it pressing the "i" button on the keyboard), but i can't hear any audio on my speakers (also the Onkyo cannot detect the track). Also the video have problem, film is playing faster with no audio.
If i try to change audio track to a simple DD 5.1, film continue playing faster with no audio, i've to restart it for a correct play.
Only sporadically, when changing the audio track, i've seen my Onkyo display the led "TrueHD" (it identify a MONO TrueHD track), but however no audio on the speakers.
I think there are problems when changing the audio track on any video, sometimes work and sometimes not (when don't work video goes faster with no audio). Can you confirm this?
I've also created a fork of your repo on my GitHub.
If someone would try it, i've integrated my PVR branch with your AE branch.
Address is https://github.com/dado483/xbmc/tree/AE
Hope this help, if you need some tests i'm available.
