2006-09-25 Thread Dominique Dumont
Hello I have some problem using the SPDIF output of my SB Live card while performing I/O on my SATA drive. (See [1] for the whole story on the ALSA mailing list) My Yamaha amplifier does not recognize the AC3 (Dolby digital) stream from the sdpif plug while performing I/O on my SATA drive. If I
