I don't know if this helps. What I did was the other way around. I used the alsa a52 plugin to convert PCM audio to digital audio. I get the added advantage (or disadvantage maybe to some audiophiles) of converting 2 channel audio to 6 channel audio and getting my stereo music out all speakers. So, everything which goes to the receiver is always in ac3 digital. Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Write once. Port to many.
