I'd like to add AC3 ("Dolby Digital") capabilities to the VDR project.
Is there any information available on how to extract AC3 data from
the digital data stream? I take it it's not part of the AV_PES audio
data blocks, so the questions are:
- how to get the AC3 data?
- should it be stored on disk together with the AV_PES data (in one
file) or as a separate file?
- in case of separate files: how will the AV_PES data and the AC3 data
be synchronized when replayed?
- what is the typical physical connection between an AC3 source and
an AC3 decoder (Cinch, optical...)?
Any information on this would be greatly apreciated.
