vlc digital pasthru hdmi

Postby seth_keith » 17 Jul 2009 03:06

I am trying to get VLC to do digital passthru for ac3, dts, etc. All audio is coming out 2 channel. This command line works correctly with 5.1 audio passthru with mplayer:

mplayer-svn -fs -zoom -quiet -ao alsa:device=hw=0.3 -channels 6 -ac hwdts,dwac3, <filename>

How can I make vlc do the same thing?

I tried vlc --spdif, and --alsa-audio-device hw=0.3, but that didn't work...
/mnt/rfs/video $ aplay -l

I notice when I play any 5.1 source vlc shows:

[0xf80638] a52 decoder: A/52 channels:6 samplerate:48000 bitrate:448000

but still the audio comes out 2 channel.
