... So I now have an ION i386 build of OpenELEC with this dual audio patch, which I am successfully using with my Acer Revo 3610. I can post it somewhere if anyone would like to use it.
If anyone wants to build it themselves for a different platform I can also post the steps that I took to make the build.
Great work xhbl!

I don't think I've ever been happy about a feature not making it into a xbmc release and I'm looking forward to seeing (or should I say hearing? :p ) dual audio in Eden.
Thanks again xbhl!

Just a reminder from the first page of this thread
"make a patch, and link to it. distributing a binary without the sources is a gpl violation."
If you list the binary and the code here, you are good to go. And please do so if you have it working! We can help each other out till this thread gets more attention.
If you are willing to do so, post:
Binary
Source
What build its made for (build date of XBMC/platform)
A diff file (if possible)
And anything else that would be of interest or to further the knowledge of the end user. Thanks guys!

Perfect!
However I have a small note. I have a dv5 pavillion as a media center with xbmc live installed. This is connected through hdmi to an LG lw5500. Also it has an external sound blaster and the card is connected through spdif to my pioneer vsx1014 receiver. I have configured the first audio output to be to the hdmi and the second to be the creative optical.
The two outputs have a small time difference caused by the tv!. The tv is delaying the sound because as all modern tv's applies image processing to the movie thus delaying the sound (~100-200ms). The receiver does not delay the sound.
This creates the bathtub effect that has been described before in this thread.
After I saw the files of the patch (I'm not an experienced programmer ...) I saw that the solution creates a second sound object and it is send to the second output. I don't know how to do it but perhaps by adding a second delay option in the sound delay menu and applying only to the second sound object the problem could be solved?
