sorry but googling on this question is not working out.
Does xbmc (on Linux, ubuntu 11.04) have the necessary configuration control so that I can set up HDMI sound output for watching videos and then set for Speaker out on the same PC for playing back music?
[ALTERNATIVELY I could use S/PDIF digital audio out from the PC to the Receiver if there's any particular reason to consider it]
The "wiring" would be
VIDEO:
PC/xbmc -> HDMI (only) -> LCD
MUSIC
PC/xbmc -> Speaker-out mini-plug (or SPDIF) -> Receiver (mini-plug/SPDIF)
(I have HDMI audio out working under Mythtv, so I'm expecting I can just re-use that combination of kernel headers and settings when I rip out Myth from this PC - it's an Acer Revo 3700)
[and, no, this particular room is not setup for playing back the video's audio tracks through the receiver... it's a long story]
TIA!
