Hi, I have problems with the spdif AC3 pass-through function on the Aureal au8830 (which is configured as my second audio device). When I try to use AC3 pass-through with mplayer I get:
Forced audio codec: hwac3 Opening audio decoder: [hwac3] AC3/DTS pass-through SP/DIF No accelerated IMDCT transform found hwac3: switched to AC3, 448000 bps, 48000 Hz AUDIO: 48000 Hz, 2 ch, 16 bit (0x400), ratio: 56000->192000 (448.0 kbit) Selected audio codec: [hwac3] afm:hwac3 (AC3 through SPDIF) ========================================================================== vo: X11 running at 1280x1024 with depth 24 and 32 bpp (":10.0" => remote display) ========================================================================== Opening video decoder: [ffmpeg] FFmpeg's libavcodec codec family Selected video codec: [ffodivx] vfm:ffmpeg (FFmpeg MPEG-4) ========================================================================== Checking audio filter chain for 48000Hz/2ch/16bit -> 48000Hz/2ch/8bit...

Audio: no sound mplayer is run with -ao alsa9:hw:1,1 -ac hwac3. And this is with kernel 2.6.5-rc1. What can be the problem? (Is this supposed to even work yet?)
