[vlc-devel] [PATCH 00/11] DTSHD: VLC 3.0 backport request

[Thomas Guillem]

 - Why now just before the release ?

Because we received the first reports of DTS core not working at all via
passthrough. Since we didn't find a proper way in the past to differentiate
DTSHD from DTS, I decided to always send DTS core inside DTS-HD frames. The
problem is that it just doesn't want with some HDMI receivers.

We have 2 Amplifiers at the office, indeed, it's working for one but not for
the other.

 - But you already proposed this kind of patches ? 

Yes I know, DTSHD is not really a new fourcc since it's backward compatible
with DTS. The only other way I found to differentiate DTS with DTSHD is the
bitrate. DTS core has a bitrate of 1535kb/s maximum. With DTS extensions, it's
always more. Problem, the audio output modules don't have this information
(audio_format_t vs es_format_t). If you want me to put the bitrate inside the
audio_format_t instead, I can do it.

PS: pulseaudio/android not tested with this patch set, I'll do it before
pushing if we all agree on something.
