Mike, HDMI really supports multi-channel PCM. I am not sure, though, if all receivers support it, and if the Linux drivers of all video card brands support it. I have a Denon receiver and an Intel IGP, and it works nicely out-of-the-box under Ubuntu since 11.10. I just need to select the appropriate output in the sound control applet.
Of course having a52 would still be nice for people without such hardware. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/197957 Title: Include a libasound2-plugins-extra package for a52, maemo To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-plugins/+bug/197957/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
