Turns out I did have a mono file here too, and it plays fine. I confirmed that AE is correctly upmixing the mono to stereo correctly.
I had a look thru your previous log, where you played an Abbott & Costello flick - one thing I noted was it was upconverting or transcoding to AC3. As a test, can you disable "Receiver supports AC3" in the Audio Output settings of XBMC and try again? Just want to see if that trancoding to AC3 is an issue.
Gave that a shot and it fixed the issue....
Not trying to bug you, just wanted to see if you had a chance to look at this. Thanks!
Patience - this is rather obscure (transcoding mono to AC3) - I have made a note on the to-do list.

ok heres the log:

its around line 940 that i start to play the file
I've had similar issues from time to time (I think I have that same Dire Straits SACD rip, unless you ripped it yourself). It's usually solved by closing XBMC, letting it stay closed for a couple of seconds then restarting it. Sometimes playing some other format that you know works (like MP3), then playing a FLAC file makes the audio work. Lately though I haven't had any of these issues (I recompile quite often).

This really isn't the place to ask that. If you read the news page you'll see that AE will be included in the next stable release (ETA unknown I suppose). After that it's completely up to the Linux Mint maintainers to provide a package for it. Have a look at the wiki or the forum (I think there's a sticky for it) if you want to learn how to compile XBMC yourself. It really isn't very complicated at all.

Instead of skipping the whole device I changed the code to continue and now there is SOUND again
Added the bug ticket + patch http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/13075
Not sure if ALSA can handle this stuff always but for now better than no sound at all.
This is the same issue I am having. To work around it I compiled with PulseAudio enabled. I like your fix better since I hate PulseAudio.

Still having a weird issue with my hdmi not being detected. I know my ELD data is invalid but XBMC is logging a different error:

@drivesoslow - yes, that pull request is aimed at some of the issues you're having. I expect it to be merged before June 10th. It's just waiting for review and the thumbs-up.

But... When i try to play a m2ts-File with TrueHD or DTS-HD audio, i only get noise on all speakers. The AVR shows that he is playing 7.1 PCM. Normal DTS files are working fine, AC3 too. If i disable DTS-HD support, the core DTS stream plays also fine.

Yes, this is exactly the same problem I have.
I notice you also have the Intel i3.
I suspect it is caused by the Intel alsa-driver.
It is not the hardware, as everything works on Win7.
I have installed a set-up to do full debug and development on the xbmc source, for the purpose of solving this issue, but I have not got started on this yet, I will also use very long time because I do not know the xbmc source.
In the meantime, hopefully somebody will fix it or find a workaround.
Same problem here (ASRock H67M-ITX/HT + Intel Core i3-2120).
Everything works great except DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD.
Has anybody manged to get hd bitstream with an i3? Does the Intel linux driver even support hd bitstreaming?

Awesome. I'll stick with enabling pulse audio until then. I will update my progress after I see the merge. Thanks for the ETA.

Hmmm can't seem to get mythbox to do audio with an ATSC source (5.1 DD Sound). Works in Eden. Log here: http://pastebin.com/vbpQ8LZE
RE: AudioEngine testers - Linux only - rodercot - 2012-06-02 20:33
I built last evening from odenkamps fork. I am just wondering if I should get rid of my sound.conf file in modprobe.d now or keep it or does it matter and should I remove my userdata and rebuild from scratch to avoid any issues. I am not really seeing any other than audio dropouts here and ther with DTS-HD and Library thumbs are taking forever to populate not an ae issue.
Thanks,
D.

I'm not sure where to post this, but I just compiled the git version of XBMC and when I run it I immediately get a segmentation fault.
Can somebody take a look?

One error in the log I see is:
Code:
ERROR: CAESinkOSS::EnumerateDevicesEx - Failed to open mixer: /dev/mixer...but I don't think Ubuntu 12.04 has the legacy /dev/mixer device?
