<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Im just working on multi channel audio.
(finally)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>what is the max number of channels a stream can
have?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>AC3 is 6 (5.1)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>DTS? 8?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>is 3 possible with existing soundcards/streams?
(L+C+R) probably as eventually there should be a config item to indicate max
channels which may be < the channels the card is capable of.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>what Ive currently done is to let Reconfigure try
stream max channels first and then progressively degrade as the sound
card/driver capabilities arent met.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I assume transcode will be limited to 2 channels
(for the moment).</FONT></DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>hopefully Ill have a patch for testing by end of
sunday.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I also have a partial patch for audio in mythcommflag. the infrastructure
is there but it doesnt use it yet for comm detection. if anyone wants it to play
with just yell.</FONT></DIV>
