I checked the latest build and the debug log always shows the adapter to be 0, no matter what I set SDL_FULLSCREEN_HEAD to. Though I think SDL_FULLSCREEN_HEAD never worked for me. I take it, it's supposed to open XBMC on the secondary display and it never did that, UltraMon does do that though.

Then the environment variable is probably not set or set wrong because there's nothing wrong with the code that reads it out.
From your posts I understand you give it to xbmc as an argument, that's not how you set an environment variable!

I've set it globally via system properties and it shows the right adapter now. I don't remember why I set it that way, a bit daft of me.

Suppose I download the latest svn for linux. Will this smoothvideo downgrade/resample my audio if I use s/pdif? If it does, is it possible to completely turn this feature off?

Just as a help for everyone wants to test the smoothness of his playback here is a part of Star Wars 3, where the text goes scrolling in the beggining. This part shows all possible missed fraes for me.

Will I get jerks in the video if my monitor is an exact multiple of my video's frame rate?
- bobo1on1 - 2009-04-08 21:52
Yes, because your soundcard is not synced to the monitor (hence the resampler).

So I cannot get smooth 24p video on my 72hz monitor unless I use smoothvideo? And since s/pdif does not work well with smoothvideo, I cannot really get smooth 24p with my current system?

With skip/duplicate it works with passthrough and i can't hear any sound quality difference. If the refresh rate is very near to the fps i think you can hardly hear the quality difference in sound.
