I've tried out the Feisty i386 herd4 desktop CD. This system has the following versions: ALSA 1.0.14rc1 Totem 2.17.91 Gstreamer: 0.10.11.cvs20070110
Unfortunately I wasn't able to test a DVD, as I had the liveCD in my DVD player. I have tested a video file with 5.1 AC3 sound instead. In this case Totem also didn't play 5.1 sound. The sidebar indicates "Channels: 2". When using the liveCD I have installed all the Gstreamer plugins and the gstreamer-ffmpeg plugin. The console outputs no errors when using Totem. The same video is played correctly with mplayer and the console output also indicates 6 channels in the audio stream. I can't tell for sure if this is exactly the same problem as playing a DVD. Testing with a DVD may be a bit more difficult, let me know if it would be useful to do such tests. -- Incorrect 5.1 audio when playing DVD https://launchpad.net/bugs/53516 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
