Hi! In this patch the phase problems should be gone, if still think that you got "phase reversal" problem please sendme a dump of the /proc/asound/card0/dsp/sample content while you are playbacking whatever giving you "phase reversal" problem. On the AC3 front I've managed to get my receiver to switch on to "Digital Surround" mode (instead of PCM), which must mean that it finally detected the AC3 stream. But still no sound, got no idea why, but please if you have time give it a test. Consider this patch as "experimental", just in the mean, dont be surprised if something that worked OK before is now broken. Summar of changes: - Phase reversal fixes. - Some rewrites on playback code, related to the sample rate setup. - AC3 stuff .... /Benny
