Well the splitter handles mp3, flac, ogg, dts, wav plus others and the audio decoder handles lots of audio types so you have always been able to use LAV for music.

oO I'll have to try this ...

You just have to change the music player from bass to direct show - if i am not wrong.

Can I use this for dts-wav playback?
ASIO doesn't work stable.

Sort of... the issue is that dts wav files are not proper music files and rely on your PC passing the raw data to amp without touching it (and many sound card / drivers won't do this). As far as the decoders are concerned the file is a wav file not a dts file.

It is much better to store the dts stream as a dts file and then use ac3file. This will then work like in films and the decoder will think it is dts and always pass it through directly.

offtopic...

There is either a failure in the software or HW / driver level is audio stream gets "corrupted" or altered when playing a pure WAV data (like CD). Of course resampling or some other damaging algorithms could get used for some reason like:

• OS mixer doing dirty work (WASAPI / ASIO etc. exclusive modes will sort this out)
• Software volume control is applied
• Channel up/down mixign is done
• EQ is done

If audio HW supports 44.1Khz 16 bit then a good test is to play some stereo AC3 file with BASS player (unless amp has some weird issue with the wrong headers...). If the audio is garbage then the audio pipeline has some issue(s). At least lossless audio should be possible to be played with 1:1 for the source (CD, flac...).

"1.3.0 Alpha - final phase of development
Written by infinite.loop | 11 May 2012

MediaPortal 1.3.0 has entered it's final phase of development.
Next week on Friday the 18th, we will have all changes that are part of 1.3.0 Alpha merged with the master and build a team internal test-version.
If all goes well, then you will be able to download 1.3.0 Alpha one week later on Friday the 25th!"

I think it would be post on the homepage a new news regards 1.3.0 release date because the last news outdated.
