Are both dscodec and audioengine going to be merged into the main trunk, or will we be stuck with 2 builds ala dsplayer?

Is there a way to get audio to be handled by "ffdshow audio decoder"?
I can confirm that ffdshow is working properly with XMBC by switching it to "windowed" mode and seeing that "ffdshow video decoder" is in the system tray. Howeve, the "ffdshow audio decoder" icon isn't there next to it like it normally would be when I watch a video using Media Player Classic.
I've tried messing with the audio settings in XMBC's system menu, but no luck.

Hello all,
After having much succes with my blu ray DVDS and HD homevideos using DSPLAYER, I know have some questions regarding regular DVD/MPEG2 480 movies. If anybody is experiencing the same, let me know :
1) Yesterday I 'ripped' my first DVD. I'm trying to put my collection in XBMC. I made an MKV file from a regular non-anamorphic DVD (480). First thing I noticed when playing in XBMC (or WMplayer) on my HD ready 720 TV or Laptop with 1600*900 widescreen resolution was that, when going into fullscreen, the movies does not fill the whole screen. In XBMC I have to use the ZOOM mode to fill the whole screen. Is that normal? Is this because todays TVs and hardware use a way higher res then DVDs 10 years ago? I don't have this when playing the DVD on my regular DVD player, nor when playing on a pc with a screen of 1280 * 1028. This was a bit of a weird experience for me.
2) Most importantly, I'm unable to run this MKV file using DSPLAYER and ffdshow. DVDPLAYER works flawlessly. When using DSPLAYER, the movie starts, the sound is there but the screen stays black. I can play HD MKVs flawlesly in DSPLAYER. Anybody any idea what I'm doing wrong? I fiddled a bit with FFDSHOW options, but I can't figure it out.
Thank you all in advance.

Hey all,
Currently, I have my MTS high def files back running at full speed using DSPLAYER. My MKVs of blu ray rips I have now running at a whopping 8 frames a second (they used to run very smooth), and my regular DVD rips in MKV format just make XBMC crash. I would like to start with fixing the blu ray rip MKV's.
Can somebody perhaps tell me how they have the MKV configured in mediasconfig.xml?
I currently have it like this :
<rule filetypes="mkv">
<source filter="haali" />
<splitter filter="haali" />
<video filter="ffdvideodxvadec" />
<audio filter="ffdaudiodec" />
I also tried the MKVsplitter and MKVsource. Videofilter I tried mpcvideodec and ffdvideodec, but no difference (very slow speed). When pressing the 'O' key during playback I clearly see the other filters are used.
I have HAALI, FFDSHOW installed. Currently have an intel I5. Don't know what to do anymore.
any help really appreciated.
Thanks,
Maarten
