More details on this proposition. As spotted by Hadley Rich Moovida is not able to build a bin out of this config. You can work this around like that : set audio_sink to gconfaudiosink Then open gstreamer-properties from a terminal. In the Audio output select custom and then paste this in there : ffenc_ac3 ! ac3iec958 ! alsasink device=spdif You can press the test button to make sure this works with a sine tone (mind your ears...). This should work fine. Julien
