[Alsa-user] probs with iec958 raw modus (ac3dec)

[Uwe W. <uwe...@we...>]

I tried to send AC3 data via SPDIF and a CMI8738 card (Leadtek Winfast 6x) 

with ./tools/extract_ac3 /cdrom/AC3TEST.VOB | ./ac3dec 
I got 
"5.1 Mode 48.0 KHz 448 kbps English Complete Main Audio Service"
and a nice audio over SPDIF but downmixed to 2 channels

if I try the raw mode:
./tools/extract_ac3 /cdrom/AC3TEST.VOB | ./ac3dec -C
I got only this line:
"Sample format non availableOutput open failed"

whats wrong ????
