Raspbmc August Update released

Raspbmc is a minimal Linux distribution based on Debian that brings XBMC to your Raspberry Pi. While Raspbmc offers great features, it has been found to fall behind on speed and fluidity compared to other media center OSes. This post introduces the recently released Raspbmc August update.

Raspbmc August update brings several fixes and improvements listed below:

Support for Raspberry Pi’s with Micron memory to installer
Re-added support for Dual Audio (simultaneous analog and HDMI output)
Fixed some issues where some settings were not applied properly:
