HDMI Multichannel LPCM/RAW Support/Status

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I was just curious if there is any planned support for multichannel LPCM/Raw
audio for newer HDMI based chipsets. There are several matx boards with HDMI
1.1 and above compliance, which means they should be able to pass 8-channel
LPCM audio. Also, in HDMI 1.3 and above, Bit Stream passing is supported,
which actually should be easier, bandwidth wise, than LPCM. Multichannel PCM
(above 2 channels) was never an issue because SPDIF lacked the bandwidth.
After talking with some people in irc it seems as though the # of channels
setting in Alsa is only one bit. Thanks.
