Description:

When pulseaudio is installed and passthrough is used, video plays too fast and there is no audio.
There is also a ticket in the xbmc bugtracker for this issue:
http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/14096

It seems that their pulseaudio support is not mature enough to properly handle passthrough.

I have tried this with 12.0 through 12.2 and a git build from 07-08-2013


Steps to reproduce:
run xbmc with pulseaudio installed, enable passthrough and play anything with ac3 or dts audio
This task depends upon

does "AE_ENGINE=SOFT xbmc" help ?

It does. I didn't know about this untill after i posted this ticket.
Putting it in /etc/profile.d solved the problem
