(also obs, deps/media-playback, libobs/audio-monitoring, decklink,
linux-alsa, linux-pulseaudio, mac-capture, obs-ffmpeg, win-dshow,
win-wasapi)
Default channel layout for 4 channels is 4.0 in FFmpeg.
Replacing quad with 4.0 will improve compatibility since FFmpeg has
better support of its default channel layouts.
(This commit also modifies the following modules: UI,
deps/media-playback, coreaudio-encoder, decklink, linux-alsa,
linux-pulseaudio, mac-capture, obs-ffmpeg, obs-filters, obs-libfdk,
obs-outputs, win-dshow, and win-wasapi)
Adds surround sound audio support to the core, core plugins, and user
interface.
Compatible streaming services: Twitch, FB 360 live
Compatible protocols: rtmp / mpeg-ts tcp udp
Compatible file formats: mkv mp4 ts (others untested)
Compatible codecs: ffmpeg aac, fdk_aac, CoreAudio aac,
opus, vorbis, pcm (others untested).
Tested streaming servers: wowza, nginx
HLS, mpeg-dash : surround passthrough
Html5 players tested with live surround:
videojs, mediaelement, viblast (hls+dash), hls.js
Decklink: on win32, swap channels order for 5.1 7.1
(due to different channel mapping on wav, mpeg, ffmpeg)
Audio filters: surround working.
Monitoring: surround working (win macOs linux (pulse-audio)).
VST: stereo plugins keep in general only the first two channels.
surround plugins should work (e.g. mcfx does).
OS: win, macOs, linux (alsa, pulse-audio).
Misc: larger audio bitrates unlocked to accommodate more channels
NB: mf-aac only supports mono and stereo + 5.1 on win 10
(not implemented due to lack of usefulness)
Closesjp9000/obs-studio#968
The "Custom" device entry was added inside the loop that runs for each
device; this causes "Custom" to be added once for each device detected,
or not at all if no device was detected. Moving this outside the loop
(as would appear to have been the original intent, judging by the
indentation) fixes this by adding the entry only after all devices have
been processed.
