Hi all,

I've finally cleared enough room to get my AC3 capable amp and speakers 
set up in the house :). I've changed my xine config to output ac3 when 
viewing DVD's and it's all funky, spdif output via optical into the amp 
and it all works grand.

However music and stereo sound still go to the TV (for normal TV 
viewing). What I would really like would be able to send the audio to 
both the telly via HDMI and to the amp via SPDIF. So that I could listen 
to music with the telly off, but without always needing the amp on to 
hear anything.

Currently to get mplayer to output the sound via my HDMI calbe I use the 
following options:

-ao alsa:device=hw=0.3

I can change this to be:

-ao alsa:device=hw=0.1

Which will then output to the amp instead, is there anyway of specifying 
2 output devices??

I found this on the alsa wiki:

http://alsa.opensrc.org/.asoundrc#Dupe_output_to_multiple_cards

about configuring duplicate output to multiple cards.. but it looks 
seriously scary and I didn't really know where to start

Is there an easier way I can do this with some simple parameters to 
mplayer??

Cheers,

Steve.
