[vlc-devel] Re: Building VLC on MacOS X

[Matthew Romaine]

Mark,

	Just a quick tip, but be sure to go back over the past couple 
references to multichannel audio on OSX on the mailing list.  There's a 
patch I sent out that should work for all devices now that interleaved 
and de-interleaved streams are supported, but it won't let you choose 
which option to use.  It should be a trivial fix, but my hands are 
currently tied.  I've also commented the code heavily so anyone should 
be able to follow.

But if you're really gonna fix it up, be sure to look up references to 
AUHAL throughout the list to get it done right :)
