I have found something that works for a while. I add to .asoundrc: # Rate Converter to 48kHz, needed for Pulseaudio it seems pcm.Filter_RateConvert { type rate slave { pcm "Filter_A52Encode" rate 48000 } }
and in default.pa: load-module module-alsa-sink device=Filter_RateConvert rate=48000 channels=6 tsched=0 sink_properties=device.description=SPDIF sink_name=SPDIF Music plays through AC3 via SPDIF through Pulseaudio and Alsa, but when I close the application (eg. Rhythmbox music player), the SPDIF output "disappears". I have attached a new back trace: pulseaudiooutput_rateconverter.txt I think it's here where the Filter_RateConvert sink gets unloaded for some reason: I: client.c: Freed 1 "Rhythmbox" I: protocol-native.c: Connection died. I: module.c: Unloading "module-alsa-sink" (index: #4). D: module-always-sink.c: Autoloading null-sink as no other sinks detected. How can I prevent this unloading? ** Attachment added: "pulseaudiooutput_rateconverter.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/51540709/pulseaudiooutput_rateconverter.txt -- Pulseaudio fails with Alsa a52 (ac3) plugin (Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/348353 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
