I've had a hard time getting that to work too, but I just found out that mplayer can do it when I play a DVD (my DVD drive is connected to CPDIF-in of SBLive), when I tell it to use alsa9 and AC3. I'm still trying to figure out what exactly it does, but here's one line of possible interest from its output: alsa-init: soundcard set to iec958:AES0=0x2,AES1=0x82,AES2=0x0,AES3=0x2
I have a receiver conneced to SPDIF-out of SBLive (and no analog connections anywhere, CD analog is not connected, SBLive analog out is not connected), and the receiver shows on its display that it's receiving 2-channel AC3 (that's what was on DVD, I'll try with a 5.1 DVD next). So the bottom line is that it can be done, if you know how to configure ALSA driver, and mplayer does ( I don't, not yet :) On Thu, 10 Oct 2002, andy wrote: > Hello, > > I have installed alsa 0.9rc3 on my system with a Creative SBLive.
