There i am again.
I fixed an issue VLC had with hogging the device, but i'm still not getting any digital audio out of the thing.
I tried setting Mixable to no, but that apparently is being done automatically, and i'm not allowed to set it (HALlab says that as well).


The one real difference I could see was the following in the ASBDs

G5
[48000][cac3][94][6144][1536][0][2][16]

Sonica
[48000][cac3][76][6144][1536][0][2][16]

So that is a diff in the formatflags, specifically the IsBigEndian flag and the isPackedHigh flag.
As far as I can tell however that shouldn't matter correct?


In IOProc I tried switching between different timestamps etc etc. but it didn't seem to matter. The audio is being put in the buffers, it simply seems like my receiver can't make heads or tails from it anymore, yet DVD Player works just fine.

In HALLab I tried comparing the settings of DVD Player with the settings when VLC is running, and there is simply no difference.

I was looking at the ioproc and did see
[00000294] coreaudio audio output debug: AudioDevice: 257, OutputBufferlist.#Buffers: 1,
[00000294] coreaudio audio output debug: OutputBufferlist.#channels: 2: OutputBufferlist.datasize: 6144


The #channels, could that be an issue perhaps? Does it have any relevance in the context of SPDIF ?
Speaking of channels. another idea I was having is that for digital modes, I set all the options on the "masterchannel" of the device/ stream. However I don't think that could be an issue.



The G5 is the only digital output that VLCs Digital audio output doesn't seem to work with, and I can't seem to figure out why. Is there anyone who has been able to use this feature successfully in his application?
