cbxbiker61, you did it!!! Excellent work on the DTS-HD MA!! Big Thank You.

I understand Dolby TrueHD is still a work in progress. Waiting with anticipation.

I'm on Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit and was able to watch the blu-ray Rise of the Planet of the Apes in DTS-HD MA 5.1 on xbmc with the plugin plugin.makemkvbluray.zip and MakeMKV streaming in the background.

I have an NVidia GTX 560Ti and using a probe_mask.

It played flawlessly and the whole time DTS-HD MSTR was showing on my receiver.

I ran into several make,compile errors along the way, but through googling solved them all.

Here's what I did. For the most part, I followed shadow's script from post# 41:

1)PATCH PULSEAUDIO

Code:

cd ~/Downloads
wget http://freedesktop.org/software/pulseaudio/releases/pulseaudio-1.1.tar.gz

Got the patch, saved as patchfile and put inside pulseaudio folder
In patchfile, added a space in front of lines 4,5,13,18 to clear the malformed errors.
Typo in patchfile in line 18, it's incomplete, through googling completed with what is most likely:
@@ -3700,7 +3700,8 @@ static int mapping_verify(pa_alsa_mapping *m, const pa_channel_map *bonus) {

Then patched with:

Code:

patch -p0 --ignore-whitespace < patchfile

2)INSTALL JSONC LIBRARY

Code:

wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/j/json-c/json-c_0.9.orig.tar.gz
wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/j/json-c/json-c_0.9-1.debian.tar.gz
Untar the .orig.tar.gz archive first then untar the .debian.tar.gz over the top of that

cd jsonc
./configure  (no autogen.sh file)
make
make install

SATISFY PULSEAUDIO AND XBMC DEPENDENCIES, DOWNLOAD FILES

Code:

sudo apt-get build-dep pulseaudio xbmc
cd ~/Downloads
git clone git://github.com/cbxbiker61/audiofilter.git
git clone git://github.com/cbxbiker61/xbmc.git

3)INSTALL PULSEAUDIO

Code:

cd pulseaudio
./bootstrap.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
make
sudo make install
pulseaudio -k

At that point got error:
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Failed to kill daemon: No such process

lauched command:
./src/pulseaudio -n -F src/default.pa -p $(pwd)/src/.libs/

Got about a dozen errors, mostly org.freedesktop.DBus.Error, unable to contact D-Bus session.

Could not get pulseaudio started, no sound devices in Ubuntu's System Settings → sounds

Skipped and continued on

4)INSTALL AUDIOFILTER
lots of googling here. I'm on a 64-bit system, but building/compiling in 32-bit.

To clear the missing bits/predefs.h error, and for proper 32-bit libc includes on a 64-bit system:

Code:

sudo apt-get install libc6-dev-i386

To tell g++ to take the 32-bit directory insteady of the 64-bit one and to clear error: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.6.1/libstdc++

Code:

sudo apt-get install g++-multilib

Then continued with:

Code:

cd /audiofilter/gnu
make
sudo make install

5) INSTALL XBMC

Code:

cd xbmc
./bootstrap
./configure
make
sudo make install

After running this last make command, magically all pulseaudio problems from previously got fixed and the Digital Surround 7.1 HDMI output appeared in Ubuntu's System Settings → Sounds.

EDIT: on my Ubuntu 64-bit, launching xbmc from the shortcut doesn't work. But doing sudo xbmc from terminal works perfect each time.
