[vdr] [ANNOUNCE] bitstreamout plugin 0.61 (sound loop through sound card)

["Dr. Werner Fink" <werner@suse.de>]

Hi,

    just uploaded bitstreamout-0.61.  I'd like to get some feedback
about AV sync for those who uses MP2.  It works for my receiver
for most channels due to the fact that this one uses a buffer for
incomming non-Audio PCM.

How to download see my signature.

The changes since last official version 0.50e:

  ---------------------------------------------------------------
  Thu Jun  3  9:29:32 CEST 2004

  - Make compile on Hammer

  - Change order within canceling threads
  - Use condition variable to sleep in switching thread

  ---------------------------------------------------------------

  - Better AV sync after muting
  - Fix old bug in handling DVD streams and muting them
  
  ---------------------------------------------------------------

  - Rewrite the scanning engines to be able to reset all
    current values if we change Live channel or mute audio.
  - This solve also the broken start frames
  
  ---------------------------------------------------------------
  Thu May 27 09:55:23 CEST 2004
  
  - Change forwarding engine to send the PCM_WAIT frames in
    correct order which depends on audio and none audio PCM.
  - Be sure only to use a unique PTS value even if frames
    may fail. Therefore start forwarding engine only if we
    cross a PES boundary and have a PTS value.
  - Add frame counting for LiveTV to be able to start the
    forwarding engine as fast as possible.
  
  ---------------------------------------------------------------

  - Reenable the deactivation of the plugin
  - Remove thread locking within forwarding thread which
    may cause locks.

  ---------------------------------------------------------------
  Fri Apr 30 21:10:48 CEST 2004 
  
  - Simply continue to get next pcm frame if PTS != STC
  - Compare system clock delay with STC delay and only if
    both clocks are in sync we assume that STC is stable
  - Switch back to frame repeat instead of sample repeat
    even for real audio.
