I have uploaded a patch to ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/pub/people/kls/vdr/vdr-0.83pre1.diff.gz that (amoung other things) adds support for recording and replaying AC3 sound to VDR version 0.82. To replay the AC3 sound you need to give VDR the new option '-a' which defines the command to use to replay the AC3 sound, for example vdr -a "ac3play ..." where "..." can be additional options for the 'ac3play' command. Since I don't have any AC3 equipment I wasn't able to test this at all. The only thing I was able to do was vdr -a "cat > ac3.data" which writes the AC3 data into the given file. Apparently that works fine. I would appreciate any comments from people who have AC3 equipment. Does this work at all? What about a/v sync? Please note that currently this only works with new recordings made with this version, and the actual AC3 output is only given when replaying such a recording. It does not yet work when viewing the "live" signal. The modifications I have made here apparently also make encrypted channels work again with the latest CVS driver. The only thing that is not yet working in that area is VDR's "Transfer Mode". It looks as if the audio gets transferred, but the video doesn't...
