Of course that was the issue. However, after uncommenting the
additional lines, I get the following errors from xine when playing
ripped dvd iso's:<br>
<br>
audio_decoder: error, unknown buffer type: 01060000<br>
audio_decoder: error, unknown buffer type: 04000000<br>
audio_decoder: error, unknown buffer type: 02000000<br><br>
I just ignore the errors and hit the play button and all is well (I
assume because xine is passing the raw AC3 to my external receiver).<br>
<br>
Thanks for your help with my ignorance...<br>
