Just a quick update on surround sound support with totem, and with stereo speakers.
I actually succeeded in playing a 5.1 surround video through my stereo speakers, but that involved the vdownmix alsa plugin and was messy at best. When surround sound is activated through the use of vdownmix there's no more mixing (only one application at a time can output sound), and everything that's not surround to begin with just sound awful. So what I was doing was basically activating surround sound when I was about to watch a surround sound movie, and deactivate it as soon as I was finished. Told you it was messy... Since it proves that surround could be obtained in Totem by fiddling with alsa, it's perhaps something best discussed with the alsa dev team...not sure on that one... Let me know if more info is needed. -- Apelete Seketeli <[email protected]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
