Description

xbmc has in the latest dharma betas implemented real-time aac->ac3 transcoding, with s/pdif passthrough.

currently, aac is degraded into 2 channel audio, which can result in very skewed and unintelligible audio levels.

many receivers (a majority?) do not support direct aac input, so i think it transcoding this to ac3 would be useful to most boxee users.

I can confirm lots of receivers do not support AAC input.
Would be great to have Boxee transcode in real-time AAC to AC3.
As far as I understood, this is already a feature of Plex and XMBC.
I would expect this is added to bring Boxee "up to speed".
