Linux PulseAudio Sink
alternatively:

sudo cp -a /usr/bin/xbmc /usr/local/bin/xbmc

that way the xbmc in /usr/local/bin will have priority - but don't forget about it, cause package changes are only done for /usr/bin/xbmc of course.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Can Pulseaudio be set to decode encoded audio and output multi-channel? I am using an HDMI based DSP from minidsp.

Have there been any updates in format support (like Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD-MA).?
Reply
Concerning DTS-HD, TrueHD: Nope - pulseaudio does only support everything we have implemented:

For your first question, yes that can be done. You have to set pulseaudio to multichannel mode (see pavucontrol via the wiki for help). Make sure to read how to avoid PA upmixing itself.
Then disable passthrough in xbmc and set you correct speaker output, e.g. 5.1

In that case the core of DTS-HD (DTS, 6 channels) and TrueHD (8 channels) will be decoded and in the 8 channel case downmixed to 6 channels and output via pulseaudio.

If you want 8 channel output, you need to create a new profile that allows this (see current pulseaudio mailing list on how to do that: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pu...21031.html
Code:
[Mapping hdmi-surround71]
description = Digital Surround 7.1 (HDMI)
device-strings = hdmi:%f
paths-output = hdmi-output-0
channel-map = front-left,front-right,rear-left,rear-right,front-center,lfe,side-left,side-right
priority = 3
direction = output

I have a Xonar STX on Ubuntu 14.04 low-latency kernel and have tried every possible combination and sequence of actions with Kodi. With Frodo, when I choose a file with a different frequency sampling rate it just shows the right data on asound corresponding card output. With Kodi I can start with or without PA, alsa sink or no alsa sink, and the sampling rate is always the same, no matter how I configure passthrough, fixed, high, optimized, etc. I have looked into the log and it seems that Kodi is picking the wrong configuration for the card, as it shows the chosen card (the only one that produces output through an amplifier) with one sampling rate only, while Frodo, correctly, shows all the range of values. Could you please suggest a solution?

You don't use pulseaudio at all.

Most likely you have Dmix active ... aplay -L will tell.

My problem is not so much that Kodi (Helix) does not work all samplings rates, as I am happy with Frodo for MUSIC. But Frodo is not playing my dvd iso files anymore, so I have a situation where Frodo does not play FVD isos and Helix does not respond to sampling rate changes. I even tried to change the Frodo paplayer into Helix, or the Helix dvdplayer into Frodo, but none solved the problem. So another solution for me would be having Frodo playing DVD iso files again.

You use alsa for kodi, not pulseaudio. From the log you start it with AE_SINK=ALSA ... besides that you have pulseaudio installed on top. Your issue is the dmix devices, those you need to disable in order to use all available sample rates. Google: Ubuntu disable dmix.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

It works now. As I could not find anything on the NET that worked I just commented out on 'alsa.conf' all dmix entries. No side effects so far. Thank you.

Hey I hope I am okay asking here but I don't know where else to get help with pulseaudio. Here is what I have which was working fine until a recent update on my Arch system.
-7.1 audio out HDMI (nvidia card) to an Onkyo receiver.
-KDE4 running as my DE with pulseaudio configured and working.
-Pulseaudio set up as the correct 7.1 audio (even get them all in kde) with passthrough items all checked in pavucontrol.

This set up was working great up until recently. I was getting passthrough on the files that had supported codecs and kodi was handling everything else, though stereo stuff was getting pumped to all 7 speakers equally. But that is no problem as I can just set the receiver to stereo if needed.

Anyway, a recent update broke all this and the passthrough options have vanished from the kodi options. The closest I have gotten is setting sound configuration to stereo in pavucontrol and then the passthrough options magically appear in kodi again. But still no sound on passthrough stuff and this option is unacceptable anyway.

Any ideas what went wrong here? Is there a known bug in pulseaudio 6.0 that causes this breakage?

Thanks for any help. If there is a better place I can ask please let me know.

If (!) pulseaudio is configured to multichannel, passthrough will be disabled automatically _in_ pulseaudio. Passthrough makes only sense (says the pulse people) when user has configured a stereo profile. Cause 7.1 PCM is considered to be prefered.

I have also documented this in the wiki: http://kodi.wiki/view/PulseAudio#Passthrough_Mode

Now you can decide: Use the PCM sink (7.1) or use a Stereo sink and be able to use DTS, AC3 passthrough.

Thank you I'll give that a try to disable the stereo remixing.

So this is a new "feature" in a recent version of pulseaudio? That is really frustrating as I got used to everything actually working perfectly. And this is causing confusion because they have not yet removed the passthrough options from pavucontrol when you are using a 7.1 output source. I can still check them and assumed they would be working just as they always had before.

How about downgrading? Is that an option to get that functionality back? This receiver has a couple of special audio modes for DTS that I enjoy using.

Thanks for the clarification. Just when I had begun to enjoy pulseaudio they seem to be pulling a gnome3 on me by telling me what "I" should want.

In fact this was always the case, even with 4.0 - As multichannel devices don't make any output at all, we care for this in the PULSESink, if we detect more than 2 channels _we_ hide the passthrough section. As you are a selfbuilder, you can try to remove this line: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master...E.cpp#L417

remove the:
Code:
&& device.m_channels.Count() == 2

And let me know about your results.
