Does this mean that if I rebuild an ubuntu 13.04 minimal box and then build from git I will have this code? Or still a custom kernel also?
14.04 is enough and team xbmc ppa (when ready). Nothing to build custom. That's the whole idea.

Quite often with DTSHD-MA or DD TrueHD there are loud "clicks" sometimes every few seconds, sometimes about once a minute. Without passthrough there are no clicks, but some formats are not handled, like DTS where I get only the core out this way.
I am trying to understand how these audio options are supposed to work and how to debug this problem. Should XBMC be able to decode and transcode (into PCM) all high-res formats, or is passthrough the recommended or only option?
How do these options interact with the various synchronization settings (adjust refresh rate, sync playback, a/v sync method)? Should I try others than the ones recommended in the first post?
Any recommendations are very much appreciated. There are so many knobs to tweak that I need some idea of where to start.

Hi arkadi
Thats exactly the same effects/problems which I have (with similar configuration)
see Post: #1416
Good to hear that I'm not the only one.
Meanwhile I updated to the latest kernel (3.15) and XBMC (nightly build) but this problem still exist with DTS-HD and also Dolby TRUE-HD (tested with demo-file) .
regards,

Post the same things, I requested for that user.

Are you going to change the guide for the nightly for now or should we continue to use the current PPA?
Do you see it changed? I will have no time the next 10 days.
You are playing 24p @ 60 hz and expect passthrough audio to not drop? That won't work.
Disable all passthrough codecs and use LPCM.

If I switch to 24p I have no audio (silence??)
I tested all fixed frame rates and only 60Mz gives audio output (with loud "clicks" and "gaps") all other produce silence.
If I switch off all passthrough codecs I have no DTS or Dolby, this is worst than my preveous configuration, where only the HD codes were switch off.
Then disable at least "Sync Playback to Display" completely ...

If i use the repositories from your howto it tells me no temporal deinterlacing.
I don´t even know if I have deinterlaced material to test this. Sorry.
It is possible that the former pontostroy-mesa repo has more stuff enabled. However it is not available for Tumbleweed. Thus you should stick with 13.1 pontostroy-mesa-git and a stable kernel. Last time I tested kernel 3.14 my system stopped booting and I had to use a rescue disk to install an older kernel...
Fernet Mentas xbmc master branch is now on XBMC 14 alpha 1.
To get XBMC 13 beta I guess I will have to switch to the gotham branch - correct?
