Yes, I am more inclined to implement LADSPA, the low pass filter is literally that, a low frequency pass filter for creation of the LFE channel when up-mixing.

Thats "almost" a complete list. the extras are

* OSX Support
* Finish Pulse Support
* A but-load of testing

Very close to being ready to merge into trunk

@gniff Regarding bitstreaming DTS HD audio and Dolby HD audio.. is it possible with the new branch?


- gnif - 2010-10-12

No, as mentioned earlier in this post, I do not have, nor can I afford a HDMI receiver, so I can no add support for these, if someone wants to donate me one, or funding towards one so they can get these features, PM me.

7.1 LPCM, TrueHD and DTS-MA capable Asus ENGT430 and Onkyo TX-SR508B donated by me and http://www.delightica.nl.

Now everyone else should start to donate for:
ATI (HD5xxx)
Intel (Core i3/i5 supports TrueHD and DTS-MA)
Asus Xonar
Auzentech X-Fi


- gnif - 2010-10-12

Thanks sWORDs! It will be nice to get these things underway!

To clarify, donations to fund this work, please send to me personally via my sourceforge account here:

didn't realize the 430 had bitstreaming support for dts-hd and truehd. time to get rid of my old g210. i was hoping that would come to nvidia soon, i didn't really want to have to switch to the ati 5xxx.

Good man! Great donation for a much overdue feature!

Regarding other hardware, if you get HD bitstreaming working on the NVidia GT 430, then it will work on the ATI 5xxx series, and the Core i3/i5. All use same method.

The Xonar's a different kettle of fish. Uses different methods (due to odd hardware build). I've got an old Xonar HDAV so i can donate that. gnif... i'll pm you soon. Wink

Regarding both of the above... at least that's what we found over at Doom9 (Albain was the doing the amazing dev work then) when testing the ffdshow HD audio development.

As for the Auzentech X-Fi, ffdshow doesn't support as we couldn't find anyone with the card! I wouldn't bother!!

Cheers

Well, wow! Many thanks to the generous donors!

Also, I donated 50 Euro in the past for the AE branch specifically. I hope they reached you and helped in getting relevant equipment.


- gnif - 2010-10-12

@ashlar yes, your donation was received and routed to the project
also thanks to alanwww1 who has kindly donated a GT220 to test on

thanks again everyone! Your helping to make XBMC the most consumer friendly media center available


- sWORDs - 2010-10-13

Wouldn't it be nice if XBMC would offer an output as (Source/PCM/LPCM/DD) and test button in the settings?

Like:
Code:
Source    Output    
AAC    PCM    test
LPCM    Source    test
DD    Source    test
DTS    Source    test
DTS-HD    LPCM    test
DTS-MA    LPCM    test
True-HD    LPCM    test

Well, gnif, I think XBMC constitutes a sterling example of the "Good of the Net" as I like to call it. Seeing what has been achieved so far, looking back at the roots of the project, how it was born, how it evolved... I don't know, overall it gives me a kind of satisfaction about human beings and what they're capable to achieve when they work together.

Keep up the good work!

Will bit perfect LPCM via WASAPI be achievable from the dvd/video player with the new engine?

i think this would be pretty useful.


- lloydsmart - 2010-10-13

^ Agreed.


- gnif - 2010-10-14

Yes, it would but wont be part of AE for now... working on the parts that need to work first Wink

@Jeff Flowerday, yes, bitperfect LPCM will work just fine provided that your soundcard supports the format XBMC needs, otherwise it will resample and/or convert the audio to a format your soundcard supports.
