OK, now it's on HG tree.
Thanks.
While we're at it... I did a quick hack to add a new mixer element to choose the SPDIF playback route, either "Analog Duplicate" or "Exclusive PCM". (On AD codecs, it has more items for analog
Hmm, I hope you won't think I'm nitpicking, but this term "Exclusive PCM" might be misleading as AC3 or DTS streams are not PCM...
May be "Exlusive Digital" would be better... Does any native english speaker have a better suggestion ?
How about Digital Mode: { Independent | Shared }? Similar to the existing controls for surround jack mode.
I don't care much about wording, so I'd like to ask you guys which one is better. In general, we have the following modes for SPDIF output:
1. "Exclusive" / "Independent" mode You'll have a dedicated SPDIF stream, suitable for AC3/DTS output.
2. "Duplicate" / "Shared" mode The normal analog output is copied to SPDIF output.
3. (codec-dependent) "Analog Loopback" mode The analog line-in / CD / mic-in (and mixer) is loopbacked to SPDIF output
4. (codec-dependent) "SPDIF Loopback" mode The SPDIF-input is loopbacked to SPDIF output
