[MPlayer-users] Playing DTS audio through hwac3

[Ferenc Kubinszky]

Hello,

I try to use mplayer (1.0pre7) with my DTS receiver. Since I installed 
libdts-dev, mplayer reconises it and use it for DTS decoding. But the
output is only stereo.

"mplayer Track01.wav -ao alsa:device=hw=1.2 -ac hwac3,"
Falls back to something (ffdts?):

"mplayer Track01.wav -ao alsa:device=hw=1.2 -ac hwac3"

It seems that there is no hwac3 codec:

~/.mplayer/codecs.conf is the one shipped with mplayer v1.0-pre7.


Does anybody have any idea?
