I wasn't sure, but know I am: I use the latest CVS lib also...
So the error come from another point???

I suppose it's the -format option of mplayer, if I lauch it that way,
mplayer -ao alsa9 -channels 6 -format 1024 -dvd 1 I got:

Checking audio filter chain for 48000Hz/6ch/16bit -> 48000Hz/6ch/8bit...
AF_pre: af format: 2 bps, 6 ch, 48000 hz, little endian signed int 
AF_pre: 48000Hz 6ch Signed 16-bit (Little-Endian)
alsa-init: testing and bugreports are welcome.
alsa-init: requested format: 48000 Hz, 6 channels, AC3

alsa-init: playback open error: Invalid argument

And with mplayer -ao alsa9 -format 1024 I got:
Checking audio filter chain for 48000Hz/2ch/16bit -> 48000Hz/2ch/8bit...
AF_pre: af format: 2 bps, 2 ch, 48000 hz, little endian signed int

Well, now I don't think it's the -format...
