I agree I love this patch. Dual audio is awesome... I have hdmi going to my tv, and optical going to my digital wireless headphones. Perfectly in sync

The only way to top this patch would be to add support DTS-MA.

Is this patch the solution for what I am looking for? I want:

dual audio output simultanously:
output1 HDMI (NVIDIA GTX460) with DTS-MA/True-HD audio
output2 with DTS/DD core via optical out Creative X-Fi surround 5.1 optical out

Yes, that should work, Got it similar with my onboard optical out (and onboard HDMI as main output)
I am not sure about DTS-MA/True-HD and HDMI...

Does this work if I have 1st setup as HDMI/5.1 default audio and 2nd setup as Analogue/2.0 Stereo, and I have the hdmi setup as the default in Windows Playback devices? But I only want to turn on the stereo device and play a movie without the other hdmi device turned on?

Because right now with this Patch, I get great sound with both TVs on in both rooms but once I turn off the 5.1 hdmi TV it says Audio device not found and won't play audi. I have to go and change it manually in Menu to Analogue...

Thank you to the developer. I've been trying to do this for weeks via windows with no luck. Found this thread and had it working within minutes! I agree this should be added to XBMC permanently. Great Job!

Ubuntu 11.10 binary for the dual audio patch (Eden) can be found at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4002644/xbmc.bin
I've only partly tested this - it runs & you can configure dual audio but I haven't been able to confirm that it actually outputs the dual audio because of problems with my setup. Rather than waiting until I find time to sort out my setup I thought I'd let others download it any try it out too.
Note that this is built with the default prefix of /usr/local.

To use this version, stop xbmc, download the file. Navigate to /usr/local/lib and rename the current xbmc.bin to xbmc.bin.default and then copy the downloaded file to /usr/local/lib.

If anyone can verify that this is a working bin then hopefully xhbl will upload this himself and place a link in the first post on the thread.

Thx for your binary file PaulCarter.

Can I use this file to replace my xbmc.bin file on a clean install of XBMCbuntu eden final?
My file seems to be located in /usr/lib/xbmc?

No, unfortunately that won't work - to be honest I wasn't sure what the default XBMCuntu install prefix location (as I don't use it) - it appears to be /usr rather than /usr/local (which is the default when compiling). I'll do another build and upload that instead, hopefully tomorrow or Friday time permitting.
