Frodo with AE hogging the audio chain
#1
Sad 
Hi
Have been running Frodo with Audio Engine for a while now.
Works like a charm.
Up until I fired up a 3D Blu Ray, this minimizes xbmc and launches TMT 5.
The movie wouldn't play any sound and was extremely slow.
Then I tested MCE live tv with xbmc minimized, and it reported no
Audio or video files present,
Thus not playing.
Then I ended xbmc and both worked again.
Is this because of Frodo with AE?
Anyone know ?

I think it is because now XBMC takes exclusive access of your audio device.

Which is fine...if xbmc is actually using it....I've raised this in the AE thread for Windows and PMed DDDamian but no attenton as yet - xbmc should release the device if it's not actually in playback (and gui sounds are off).

Hopefully enough people will keep raising this issue - on any non-xbmc exclusive type system, it will be a major pain if it permanently grbs the device.
Addons I wrote &/or maintain:
OzWeather (Australian BOM weather) | Check Previous Episode | Playback Resumer | Unpause Jumpback | XSqueezeDisplay | (Legacy - XSqueeze & XZen)
Sorry, no help w/out a *full debug log*.
