#626: Some nvidia hdmis now supports more than 2 channels ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Reporter: howl | Owner: lennart Type: defect | Status: new Milestone: | Component: module-alsa-* Resolution: | Keywords: ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
Comment(by lennart): Sure we can ask how many channels a device has. However the problem is we wouldn't now how those channels are mapped. I.e. which channel is L? Which R? What is Front? What Rear? Is there LFE? Is ther a Center? and so on. We cannot map which channel belongs to which position. That's why we cannot autoconfigure this for multichannel audio. For stereo this is easy since 0 is almost certainly left, and 1 is almost certainly right. But for anything beyond that we have no clue. -- Ticket URL: <http://pulseaudio.org/ticket/626#comment:4> PulseAudio <http://pulseaudio.org/> The PulseAudio Sound Server _______________________________________________ pulseaudio-tickets mailing list pulseaudio-tickets@mail.0pointer.de https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-tickets
