[vlc-devel] a52tofloat32 quad problem

[Jean-Alexis Montignies]

Hi,

I've seen a problem when trying to play a quad stream with vlc. I had 
output set to a quad configuration (2F2R), a52 correctly decodes and 
downmix the stream as a 2F2R (ordered L,R,LS,RS)

When ouputing the channels on the Motu828, vlc in cvs with the 
modifications from Matthew Romaine modified to allow only 4 channel 
outputs (the output capabilities are then to 2F2R as well), the channel 
order were screwed with AC3 tracks, although it was right for DTS 
tracks.

I tracked down the problem to the function Interleave() in 
a52tofloat32.c . The order of the channel is hardcoded to 2F1R+LFE for 
every 4 channel stream. This is not the case in dtstofloat32.c .

The comments also state there is more work to do in these functions. 
Meanwhile it would be logical the channel order being the same in the 2 
functions.

I changed this to default to 2F2R, but it's not better.  Maybe I'll 
find some time to look at this this weekend.

Is it possible to do that for the two converters instead at one place?
