Re: Fix problem with EAC3 audio

Hi,

I've managed to get xine to switch ALSA devices without increasing the "open" timeout in audio_out_alsa.c. Basically, the problem
was that my "default" ALSA device was PulseAudio, which meant that I needed a PulseAudio 5.1 device too:

pcm.51to21 {
        type route
        slave {
                pcm "plug:pulse"
                channels 3
        }

        ttable.0.0 0.58  # These values probably all need tweaking...
        ttable.1.1 0.58
        ttable.2.0 0.58
        ttable.3.1 0.58

        ttable.4.0 0.57
        ttable.4.1 0.57

        ttable.5.2 1
}

And finally, in .xine/config:

audio.device.alsa_front_device:default
audio.device.alsa_surround51_device:51to21

So patching xineplug_decode_ff.so to reopen the audio device seems OK to me.

Cheers,
Chris
