Dear Group, I have a bunch of discs encoded with 7.1 surround. I would absolutely *love* to playback 7.1 on my video program of choice... of course MPLAYER. My newest computer, a 3GB Vista machine was a low-end machine, but is VERY fast. The basic motherboard even has 8 channel HD audio built in! :))) But it only makes sense MPLAYER should have more than 5 channels. It is my understanding 7.1 is actually 8 channels (thus 7.1 = 7+1 channels = 8) :) Anyone know about this is mplayer will have -channels 8 anytime in the future? I am not too tech savvy, so I am not into re-compiling the source code with patches, so I hope to see this soon as more of my fav movies have 7.1 and I am getting some speakers soon, and very excited about that. Best wishes, Sara. -- Be Yourself @ mail.com! Choose From 200+ Email Addresses Get a Free Account at www.mail.com
