ok so unfortunately it's does not work :(
first: with vchan disable, i cant set format to AFMT_AC3, ioctl always
return -1
in /v/l/messages:
Jan 25 08:09:18 htpc kernel: pcm4: chn_setformat(): Format change
0x00100400 failed, falling back to 0x00100008
so may be my change in sys/dev/sound/pcm/channel.c is not good ? i just
commented:
    /* XXX force stereo */
    if (format & AFMT_PASSTHROUGH)
        format = SND_FORMAT(format, AFMT_PASSTHROUGH_CHANNEL,
            AFMT_PASSTHROUGH_EXTCHANNEL);

next with vchan: i can set ac3 to 2 channels and 8 channels.
when i try to play DTS HDMA or TRUEHD, i set ac3, 8 channels, 192k
and no sound ! before i had: dtshdma: some part of sound (like all data
cant be send) and truehd: some crapy bipbip
now everything seems to be ok for the player, procstat -f write counter
grows up, but no sound from my receiver: no channel input, nothing showed,
like nothing is send to him.
no error in xbmc.log or in messages:
