Not work bitstreaming AC3-Embedded from Dolby TrueHD on S/PDIF

[pravda123@…]

Hi.
"-ac help" does not offer any other options for bitstreaming AC3, except "hwac3". But this decoder does not work with embedded AC3 from TrueHD.

If try "-ac hwac3" with TrueHD + AC3 Embedded, you get:

Forced audio codec: hwac3
Cannot find codec for audio format 0x44485254.
Audio: no sound

Using mplayer version 1.0_rc4_p20100506.

You can disable this check with -ac +hwac3
However I am not sure this will actually work, please report.

No, it no working.
If I try play file wich Dolby TrueHD+AC3 Embedded I get no sound and alert "Too many video packets in the buffer" for each frame:

Maybe you are playing a non-interleaved stream/file or the codec failed?
For AVI files, try to force non-interleaved mode with the -ni option.

But result is the same - no sound. In both cases AC3 Embedded has such properties: 5.1/48 kHz/640 kbps.

Bug solved.
lavf learned to recognize the AC3-Embedded as a separate track, and it has no problem bitstreaming:

Sorry that is not reported earlier.
