I suspect you have Pulseaudio running which does not allow passthrough, so Totem reverts to stereo. If you'd use direct Alsa (use gnome-sound-properties to select audio output for movie players or just kill pulseaudio) Totem should pass AC3 through when possible (I never tried DTS, there's no such option in Totem, so I'd suspect no...). > Is it not currently possible to use AC3/DTS passthrough with > Moovida??? Unfortunately no, there's no code for that ATM. Actually IMO gstreamer's settings (gnome-sound-properties or gstreamer-properties) should be responsible for that - regardless of the application playing it (unless it'd explicitly forbid that). If I were you I'd see if there's a bug for that and file one if there isn't. Once pulseaudio gets support for digital audio passthrough, it should be quite straight-forward, too. -- Michał Sawicz <[email protected]>
