Hi everybody, attached are two patches. The first one is a simple one bit change, which should get HDMI audio on R700 working. The second is something very experimental: Some people have reported problems with some HDMI receivers. Those receivers needs 1-2 seconds at start of audio playback to adjust to the audio parameters. So you miss the first few seconds off playback. The patch now tries to solve this problem by playing a dummy audio stream only containing silence when there is no other audio to play. I'm abusing the debugging function of the HDMI transmitter, which before has not been used much, so i don't know if this will work on every chipset. @Jaren: Could you try both patches and see if they will fix your problem. @Rafał and every body else on the list: Please try out at least the first patch, to see if it has any negativ effects on other chipsets. Happy testing, Christian.
