[C-200] Firmware 03-04-110530-21-POP-408 (03-04-110520-21-POP-408 Apps) (3.06.2011)

As I said at the time this firmware was not going to be a fix-all firmware and the expectation that it would fix-all were ridiculously over-inflated. The introduction of a newer audio app would have been a requirement from Syabas. It's working well now in RC3 and those who use audio a lot report FLAC and 96/192 playing fine as well.

As Dave_D has said no where on Mantis is there any report of this 'well-known' bug, ive searched the first three pages of the 200 series Bug threads and can't see any clamour for it or even a thread itself. It affects a very limited audience. The disc format is not irrelevant as it is from the disc format that you get the video and audio codecs that each disc format manufactures wishes to pursue. Bluray and HD-DVD were pushing for different audio and video codecs.

That is it now the end of discussions on beta/rc firmware in the open forum. The Changelog thread is updated for you to see what is coming. We now have to spend time testing. Remember as it states in the forum rules/policy any forward information given on the open forum is done with the best of intentions. However it may or may not happen.

Second time of asking and I know I ended up getting involved. So no more now please hopefully the firmware is only a few days away after QA and the User Testing is over.
