S/PDIF out for both analog and digital audio
I have the iec958 device used as an example for this section, and the .asoundrc works exactly as promised - thanks! All my audio comes out the S/PDIF, and I get 5.1 passthrough when appropriate. Now, at the bottom of the section there is the following sentence: Now all audio output (besides menu sounds) should work including crossfading and switching digital/analog audio sources.
Can someone explain why menu sounds don't work after this? I would have thought that the menu sounds would follow the same "path" or whatever that other 2 channel audio files take. I would prefer not to have menu sounds when media is playing, and I can see how it might be technically impossible, but I'm not clear on why we can't have the menu sounds play when no other media is playing. I've read various forum posts and tried some of the suggestions with no luck. Thanks in advance!
Why port to linux
With the recent news of xbox development being dropped, this section should probably be revised.
Compiz is not compatible with XBMC
This isn't the case, at least for me. I can even do cube rotation with 1080p vc-1 video playback (using vdpau) with 3d windows and partial transparency on the video without any performance hit.
