hi,
sorry if this a repeat request, I sent a message before I subscribed but can't see it's made it through the moderators.
i've got a fujitsu lifebook (p2040) running happily along with 2.4.21-pre5 kernel (and 2.5.65) with 0.9.1 alsa-drivers/lib/oss/etc. all runs great, I get normal pcm stereo out of the speakers + crappy half-working headphone socket, and I can get mixed two-channel stereo running out of the spdif that I hook up to an amp through optical 3.5mmjack->SC fibre. laptop has an s-video port and dvd player so I can watch dvds or, uh, downloaded^h^h^hbacked-up movies - I use xine for this. fantastic. but, I can't get xine to output raw ac3 through spdif to let my 5.1 amp decode it - it should decode dolby and dts - it insists all it's getting is normal stereo. the hardware specs from sigmatel together with the original trident driver sortof implies that it should be possible to switch the spdif port from pcm to passthrough mode, to the layman (which I am).
can anyone confirm whether this is possible/impossible? if anyone can point me in the right direction I'd be happy to have a hack at getting it to work, but my programming experience is rather limited (willing to have a go).
cheers dom
