ok, i'm making some progress (forcing ogle to go to dev 0 subdev 0 worked).
BUT i can't seem to get any AC3 audio on my amp, and i think it's because the card(and/or driver) won't change the "Original" setting i hacked iecset and added iec958.status[1]=0x82; (which sets IEC958_AES1_CON_ORIGINAL | IEC958_AES1_CON_PCM_CODER ) but the value never "sticks" here is the output of the non-hacked iecset: [EMAIL PROTECTED] alsa-utils-1.0.0pre1]# iecset original on Mode: consumer Data: non-audio Rate: 48000 Hz Copyright: protected Emphasis: none Category: general Original: 1st generation Clock: 1000 ppm everything else can be changed, but the "Original" always comes back from snd_ctl_elem_value_get_iec958 as "1st generation" is it my card (Digifire 7.1) ? henri - even more strange. i unloaded the module, then loaded it again and ran iecset, it shows up as "original". try and change the Data mode to non-audio (for AC3) and it reverts to "1st generation"!
