[MPlayer-users] Audio questions

[Arpi]

Hi,

yes

> In that case we could play the movie on other systems too, but we have

yes

> Or is eny workaround for it?
ac2->mp3 ?
patch demux_audio.c ?

> 2. The doc says, that with -channels 4 any center channel will be mixed
> equally to the front channels. Does it mean LFE too?
dunno, not my code
