Bug 238324 – new ebuild for ac3jack 2.0.1

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE

[Description Scott Alfter 2008-09-21 20:51:18 UTC]

ac3jack is a JACK plugin which accepts multichannel (more than 2 channels) PCM input on its input and produces an AC3 stream on its output.  This is useful for playback of multichannel EAC3/AAC/Vorbis/etc. audio into a surround processor that only accepts AC3 input.  Say goodbye to noisy analog connections and send any multichannel audio down a S/PDIF connection regardless of format.

This is an updated version of the ac3jack 0.1.2 ebuild in the pro-audio overlay.  It checks for suitable versions of its dependencies (based mainly on the versions I currently have installed).  It requires the aften svn ebuild I've submitted (aften-9999.ebuild) under bug #199858; the other needed ebuilds are already in Portage.

Reproducible: Always

Just installed your aften-9999 and would like to test ac3jack, is the ebuild the same as the 0.1.2 or ?

Thanks.

Maybe because of gcc-4.3.2 ?

ac3jack-2.0.3.ebuild

[Comment 4 Grégoire Favre 2009-12-23 16:47:56 UTC]

Created attachment 213957 [details, diff]
patch to compil with gcc-4.4

[Comment 5 Grégoire Favre 2009-12-23 16:51:19 UTC]

I took some time to write an uncomplete ebuilt (it don't check dependency) for latest (of now) ac3jack 2.0.3 which still need aften-9999.

It compil fine, but jackd and ac3jack isn't what I expected.
I don't know if a "simple" ALSA is still the best solution for me...

Had this in my overlay for a while, but removed it at some point.  Closing ticket.
