[MPlayer-users] Re: Mplayer & DD5.1 via SPDIF - I have only DD2.0: why ?

[Sasza]

Dominik,

I add suggested surround option.

Pls find log for:
mplayer -channels 6 -ao alsa -af surround -ac hwac3, file.avi

Result: no change: ampli shows no sound and file is played way too fast.

2-3 times too fast playing leads me to considerations about clocking.
Maybe we have to look in this area ?

Generally: any introduction "-ac hwac3" causes too fast playing.
Maybe it is alsa related problem ?
Many peoples with SBlive or Nvida can play 5.1 without problems...on the 
other hand - xine is playing OK, so problem looks little more complicated.

What else can I try to debug problem ?
