[vlc] Re: AC3 - Dolby Digital 5.1 - 7.1

[Ray Hicks]

I have seen in the mailing list archives and the changelog for VLC that 
there is a problem with the M-Audio Sonica Theater.

I am using a 'M-Audio Sonica' with an optical connection to a receiver, 
and it works pretty well now with recent builds.
