[MPlayer-users] channel routing stopped working

[a.w. kinnunen]

Hi!

I've been using  RVM's SVN builds (
https://launchpad.net/~rvm/+archive/mplayer), since mplayer in ubuntu lags
behind and is missing features, most importantly lavcac3enc.

After latest upgrade, mplayer started to crash with AC3 files with these
parameters and it won't pass other sound through spdif. It outputs "MPlayer
interrupted by signal 11 in module: decode_audio
ID_SIGNAL=11".

Changelog stated, that alsa is not used by default anymore. Selecting "-ao
alsa:device=spdif" seems to work otherwise, but setting audio channel layout
doesn't seem to have an effect anymore, mplayer saying "[ac3 @ 0x89d22c0]No
channel layout specified. The encoder will guess the layout, but it might be
incorrect.".

Does anybody know if there's some changes recently which could cause this,
or is this just a bad build or someting?

Here's some data if it gives someone a clue:
