Yeah, I see that. i guess I have in mind the complexity of getting dual outputs work with AE.

Why not put this readymade feature in the official build?

Read through the entire thread. Devs don't want it.
Then the plan was for AE to be in Eden. If you read the AE thread the Dev working on it flat out thinks that it's a stupid idea (and is a pretty big dick about it IMHO). Which is why I had no issues in celebrating the fact that AE won't make it into Eden and I can keep dual audio for now.
Code:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `xbmc_%`.* TO 'xbmc'@'%';
IF you have a mysql problem, find one of the 4 dozen threads already open.

he really is missing the whole point of the dual audio out. He sees it as working at the same time, needing to be in sync. this is not the case for probably 99% of the use cases which puts his arguments out of contention. It is his work so he does have final say as to what get put in, but its a big/handy feature he decided to leave out.

That's where my "output switching" comment came from. Could it not be patched independent of AE as it just switches the active audio device? Absolutely nothing to do with the AE processing and wouldn't need the dev's support!

i don't care for switching, i need dual out. i'm guessing most use this for a zone 2 on their reciever as most don't take a digital input... i'd think this is actually very common. what am i missing?

Hi, guys, since AE might not be applied in EDEN, I'd probably update the source to the final eden release to make this dual-audio available when I have time to do so.

Indeed, a dual-output version would be highly-appreciated.

I agree. It would be most welcome. I love to watch films with hifi sound via the USB-audio but our son does not care about hifi and he would prefer to do it the easy way: via the hdmi output directly to TV.

Would be great to have this.
I'll hope it can be added in OpenElec as well.

Please do so. I can read and copy code but I'm no where as talented as you with coming up with this.
Code:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `xbmc_%`.* TO 'xbmc'@'%';
