Be aware that many TVs will either refuse the display anything or pop-up an OSD warning whenever they receive hdmi audio which they cannot handle. Sending 8-channel in your example may render the stereo-only monitor useless. That said, one step at a time is reasonable. But eventually you will require configurability and/or per-monitor audio control even when the video is cloned. -JimC -- James Cloos <cloos@xxxxxxxxxxx> OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6 _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
