[MPlayer-users] DXR3 and digital out

[Dirk Meyer]

Hi,

first of all: mplayer is great. And with the DXR3 I have a nice
TV-out. But I have problems with the digital out.

When I start mplayer with analog out, everything works fine:

babylon-> mplayer -vo dxr3:0 -vc mpegpes -ao oss:/dev/em8300_ma test.mpg

Now I want to switch to digital out because my receiver is configured
with digital in. After RTFM I found the hwac3-option. I don't know
what AC3 is (everything digital or only 5.1-Sound).

babylon-> mplayer -vo dxr3:0 -vc mpegpes -ao oss:/dev/em8300_ma -ac hwac3 test.mpg

OK, /home/dmeyer/.mplayer/codecs.conf doesn't exists, the global
config is new (off cause, make install put it there). Why can't I
decode the audio, or better: Why decode the audio? The DXR3 is
supposed to do that.

After that I switched to a DVD with 5.1-Sound. Playing it with analog
audio works fine, with digital audio I got no audio at all and

DVD successfully opened!

Why is my system to slow? I thought the DXR3 will decode the audio?
And why "AO: [oss] 48000Hz Mono AC3"? It's 5.1 digital.



I hope I haven't overlooked something in the manual and you can help
me. If you need the hole traces, please say so.
