aac 5.1 -----> DD 5.1 ----> receiver

Hi, Im currently a new user to XBMC and am also a user of Media Portal. Media Portal allows me to use ffdshow audio to reincode, in real time, any aac 5.1 to Dolby 5.1 for my Sony Receiver (cannot decode aac). Is this currently possible with XBMC? If so you could please let me know the steps needed.

thanks

It is not currently possible, but work is being done on this very thing.

Hello!
I use XBMC on my Xbox and I'm very interested in knowing more about the possibility to listen AAC 5.1 audio with the console connected to the amplifier with the optical cable.
Here are my questions that I hope some coder can answer:

- is at the moment possible to listen AAC 5.1 audio with XBMC on the Xbox?
- if not, what exactly XBMC does to the AAC 5.1 stream before sending it to the amplifier via the optical cable? There is some kind of downmix? To which format exactly?
- When you say that work is being done on reincodeing, in real time, any AAC 5.1 to AC3 5.1, you mean that this will be possible on Xbox too? Or just on Windows/Linux versions of XBMC?

Thank you very much for your help. Any answer will be very appreciated.

Xbox should already support this. It has AC3 encode in hardware.
