Hello all,
Finally broke the wall surrounding me, my Xbox and SPDIF!
Since I use the .asoundrc from the DigitalSound HowTo on the Xbox, which
has Digital Output but no IEC958 device, I solved the xine troubles I
was having by replacing the
audio.device.alsa_passthrough_device:iec958:AES0=0x6,AES1=0x82,AES2=0x0,AES3=0x2
line in .xine/config with
#audio.device.alsa_passthrough_device:default
since the mixed-digital .asoundrc defaults to the SPDIF.
No more problems in Xine, not even when they switch between 2-channel
Stereo in menus, and full 5.1 or DTS on the DVD.
Now I see the light in the end of the tunnel (and NO, it's not a
train!!!)
I'll think I'll go see if the STB is ready for retirement yet, since I
now have a reciever to go with AC3 sound on the DVB channels as well.
Thanks everybody for the invaluable help and nudges in the right
direction!
Happy holidays
Johan
