Zaverel and Jose Alberto, Thanks a lot for your explanations; I am going to try the "recode ac3 solution" with alsa. Cheers.

You can try with this in /etc/asound.conf (for global user ) or ~/.asoundrc (only user) pcm.!default { type plug slave.pcm surroundaudio } ctl.!default { type plug slave.pcm surroundaudio } pcm.a52encode { type a52 format S16_LE channels 6 rate 48000 bitrate 448 } pcm.surroundaudio { type upmix slave.pcm a52encode channels 6 } and start xine with --audio=alsa:surroundaudio _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
