.... in addition to IEC958 Playback Switch, there is a control which configures the IEC958 status bits. these bits give some important information such as sample rate, transfer mode, etc.
the problem is that they are represented in byte arrays and pretty cryptic for end-users. so, i wrote a small utility to dump and modify these bits: http://www.alsa-project.org/~iwai/iecdump-0.1.tar.bz2 or ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/tiwai/misc/iecdump-0.1.tar.bz2
(the latter will appear later due to sync)
you can get the current status via iecdump and modify with iecset. you'll need to set up at least the correct sample rate to play back a file.
(also don't forget to turn on "IEC958 Playback Switch" in addition.)
Thank you very much. I will try them immediately.
