Wow,

Thanks for your repsonse, if i've been a bit pushy, yeah that's right. I do prefer Xbian, in the start of this project i've mirrored a image for koenkk.

That was an offer from my side, and i expect nothing in return. The reason i was pushy was because of there was no reply yet. Just some info to get me started, you know?

If i offensed anybody, than i'm sorry for that. that wasn't my intend. I also work 42 hours/week and don't have a lot of spare time. So i understand that not everybody can help within a few seconds. I was affraid that the topic dissapeared.

Thanks for the info, i will dig in later this week. I have to do some other stuff, i will post my results back later.

Thanks a lot!

We've had some discussions about getting simultaneous analog and HDMI audio happening recently and that has touched on very similar issues ...

- Is it a Raspi firmware/hardware limitation
- Is it an XBMC limitation
- Oh but distribution X or Y does it, why can't XBian

In a relatively backwards way, in getting pushy about this, you are displaying a preference for XBian instead of the other distributions so that is a backwards compliment for which I. at least. thank you.

I'm sure everyone also appreciates your willingness to spend time on this problem.

At the risk of being unreasonably critical of a 'sister' distribution, in the analog+HDMI discussion, I think it was raised that the way Raspbmc has achieved some of their audio feats is not necessarily without complications and obviously Koennk has said, and I think rightfully, that when ALSA support becomes available in XBMC, XBian will be able to implement more audio functionality such as analog+HDMI and the USB audio you are requesting.

You can see information about the analog_HDMI issue here: http://forum.xbian.org/thread-66.html That will contain some of the background I have referred to above. There is also an issue in the XBian github repo here: https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian/issues/172#issuecomment-11613538

Those are examples of more friendly ways to go about getting your request into the system. Best of luck.
