[vdr] Re: DD AC3 and 1.3.19 broken?

[Mikko Salo <mikko.salo@ppe.inet.fi>]

I have same thing with 1.3.19, no DD5.1, but 1.3.18 works with DD5.1 on
my Pioneer VSX-C300. I have 2.6.10 kernel and I use kernel DVB drivers
with newest dvb-ttpci-01.fw-261d firmware. Card is TT Premium 2.1 DVB-C
and has CI and Conax CAM 4.00e . Sounds are converted from J2 connector
to optical and it works fine with PCM also.

If someone has solution to get 1.3.19 and upcoming releases to work I
would really appreciate it.
