Does anyone have any experience with the A52 plugin? I've compiled the plugin 1.0.14 and installed it. When I attempt to upmix a 2 channel mp3 to 6 channel through spdif, the audio plays, but it's choppy. I get a few seconds of audio, then a few seconds of silence, rinse and repeat. ~/.asoundrc has ... pcm.!default { type plug slave.pcm "iec958" } pcm.a52encode { type a52 } pcm.stereoupmix { type upmix slave.pcm "a52encode" channels 6 } I'm testing with mplayer -ao alsa:device=stereoupmix some.mp3 I get this message the stdout.
