my comment was not negative, my comment was positive, so i told, that the developers made it possible to have bit perfect audio on osx! thats great! i dont understand what is negative on my post. i told there is only little thing to fix the hole problem, so i would like to help. i didnt have seen, that somebody tells about the problem auf automatically playing next song if lpcm is turned on in audio settings, the audio stays last seconds on playing it doesn't stop, its very similar to video freezing. the song freezes before next starts, so the next song cant start. it doesn't matter, if there is hdmi 2.0 or 5.1 or 7.1. the problem is everytime the same.
I think the fix could be longer sending of signals, so they wont get lost during refresh rate or until playing next song. maybe it would solve also the video problem.
but audio is perfect, as long as it don't stops.

Memphiz, maybe you're right, you don't need audio on osx, thats why there is no audio on osx till today!! maybe this things should see a developer using mac osx himself if there are any, so they can also proove things alone, so we can help easier, because he also can see the problems himself, and not only from telling believing.
if there are no developers using macosx, so give up the the work for macosx officially! i invested 1000,- euros in mac mini 20 days ago only for having xbmc, so i had to see, xbmc in pre-alpha for mac osx, and not rc3. i never will install linux or windows again for xbmc, but i would like to help to make xbmc on mac osx working as fine as on windows or linux. but we need developer using himself macosx, so the bugs can be solved quickier.
After 20 days, problems with audio engine on osx are the same, nothing is getting better in nightlies as i can see. and the real problem is since beta2!? and now we have rc3 with the same problem!? how it could be?
I'm not developer, but i know that optimizing the audio engine on osx is not easy, but if you do not have osx, this is more difficult as if you had osx.
But as i can see, you are only looking after a reason to say, ah, dsim leaved a negative comment, so i dont want to develop further.
