[Alsa-user] Soundblaster 4.1 Digital with AC3-Passthrough

[Sebastian F. <se...@fa...>]

Hello,

I want to use my S/PDIF-Port for AC3-Passthrough to my
receiver. For now I use the OSS driver (es1371) with little
modifications that it activates the digital out.
The PCM-output works fine via s/pdif. So my question:
is it possible to activate ac3-passthrough with the alsa-driver?

What software do I need to do it with mplayer?

Thanxs,
  Sebastian Fastner

p.s. I know that it works 'cause I used it with windows.
