Hi!
First my machine specs:
Debian 3.1 Sarge
Asus Pundit, 2.4GHz Pentium 4, 512Mb RAM, 160Gb HD
Technotrend Premium 2.1 FF DVB-C card (the old version)
DVBShop IR
Homemade RGB-SCART and SP/DIF (toslink) daughtercard on J2 connector
Pioneer VSX-C300 DD5.1/DTS amplifier
I've been using vdr 1.3.18 for a while. It worked really well with DD5.1
through my homemade interface so I decided to try vdr 1.3.19. Now I
don't have DD5.1. Same problem even with vanilla vdr 1.3.19, no patches
applied or plugins compiled.
I found out that when I turn to Canal+ Film1 or Canal+ Film2 channels
(probably the only channels in Finland that has dolby digital broadcast)
and if i try to select different audiostreams from the Audio menu, only
2 first streams (0 Finnish and 1 Swedish) works but not the DD5.1 (on
Audio menu it's 33). If I leave C+ Film1 channel on the background and
watch some recording, no sound, and the stop playing it, the background
channel comes to screen and then I get DD5.1 but sound is garbled. If I
now switch to C+ Film2 channel, no sounds again.
On channels that doesn't have DD stream, sounds works even with 1.3.19.
Or when I disable DD from the setup menu.
DD5.1 worked just fine on 1.3.18, even with dozen of patches and
plugins. I don't think it is going to be problem for me since I can
allways use 1.3.18 and it works with dolby digital, but I just wanted to
inform from this.
