 * 14:03 we have: h264, vc1, mpeg4/mpeg2, deinterlacing bob, deinterlacing temp / spat
 * 14:03 on the video side
 * 14:04 vdpau can do all (with mainline)
 * 14:04 vaapi can do all the formats, it can do bob deinterlacing with the VPP PR, temp / spat is there for haswell, but we don't have hardware to implement it
 * 14:04 xvba is not there at all
 * 14:05 but with xvba (wsnipex ppa), it can do: h264 and vc1, the other two formats must be done on the CPU, it supports BOB deinterlacing
 * 14:05 that is video
 * 14:05 audio: we have lpcm (7.1), dts-hd, truehd, dts, ac3
 * 14:05 nvidia can do all on >= ION-2 (if receiver supports), ION-1 cannot do bitstream
 * 14:06 intel >= sandybridge can do all (if receiver permits), it is a bit picky on the handshake, see the workaround in VPP thread
 * 14:06 yes - no dts-hd, turhd on ION-1
 * 14:06 AMD implements a spdif via hdmi, with max 48khz sample rate and only two real speakers, so only DTS and AC3 works (with 5.1, cause those are virtual formats)
 * 14:06 pretty important to disable all the rest with amd
 * 14:06 that's it basically
 * 14:07 amd implemented multichannel audio over hdmi?
 * 14:07 btw. if it matches: wsnipex ppa, code by fernetmenta and me is meant to come upstream someday, we are not a elite somewhere, that claims to have the best xbmc :-) * we are mainline coders
 * 14:07 opdenkamp: AC3, DTS
 * 14:07 via hdmi
 * 14:07 so: no :-)
 * 14:07 those are coded via two normal channels
 * 14:11 kibje: let's add some output of xbmc.log
 * 14:11 so: explain what this all is, then create a table with all the info, add links to hardwarepages that exist etc
 * 14:11 kibje: so that users can see when DTS-HD, TrueHD is actally read from the AVR
 * 14:11 might just be some python fancyness
 * 14:11 kibje: and the intel workarounds from the VPP thread
 * 14:11 kibje: kernel 3.9.x
 * 14:12 kibje: perhaps some screenshots and explenation why temp / spat is better than temp
 * 14:12 fritsch: exactly my idea, i wat users to be able to check their setup for capabilities etc, but also be able to plan their next purchase
 * 14:12 yes
 * 14:12 kibje: and why temp alone is better than BOB
 * 14:12 i don't even know that myself :)
 * 14:12 kibje: and why spat alone makes no sense :-)
