[vlc-devel] [PATCH 0/9] EAC3 over S/PDIF

[Thomas Guillem]

In this set of patches I rewrote the A52 header parser and heavily modified the
S/PDIF converter to cope with EAC3 needs. Indeed, with EAC3, we may have to
gather more than one blocks in a S/PDIF frame. The first 2 patches are needed
because of that.

I would appreciate some inputs about the second patch. Should we change
pf_*_filter to differentiate an error from an absence of block ?

This is only tested with Pulse Audio (for now).

TODO:
 - Test and fix on Windows (Wasapi/mmdevice)
 - Test and fix on Android
 - Add support for other audio formats like Dolby TRUEHD, DTS extensions...
