Hey all,

Am still trying to get 6ch aac going in mplayer. My latest efforts use Alsa's realtime ac3 encoder plugin and I think I'm getting close. However, when playing an aac with mplayer -channels 6, the channels seem mixed up. An archive search of mplayer-dev suggests a patch was written for this last october but I'm having trouble extracting it from the html archive at gmane. Was the channel reordering stuff committed to SVN and are there any commandline options to control the mapping?

you can use -af channels=6 (which did the trick for my card) or -af pan=.... whatever, rtm for the pan's syntax. Still no info though when channel switching with -af will work again. ATM everytime I hit the #-Key, mplayer breaks (this happens when at least one -af-Filter is active) cheers, Alex
