Finally, I found out *what* really went wrong. |
20 |
|
21 |
I was using freevo with default settings, which uses xine for playing dvds |
22 |
and mplayer for playing avi/mp3/whatever. So, I setup xine as desired and |
23 |
where happy that dvds worked fine. |
24 |
|
25 |
I did not expect that freevo starts mplayer for playing nearly everything |
26 |
else, so I did not check the config, and viola: mplayer was configured to |
27 |
use oss. This was bad enough to make the alsa driver muting the spdif and |
28 |
only using analog output, even when using some other software for playing |
29 |
sound. This was where I gave up yesterday. |
30 |
|
31 |
After finding out which programs where really used, I |
32 |
checked /etc/freevo/local_conf.py and configured mplayer correctly to use |
33 |
alsa. Now spdif and analog output works as it should :-)) |
