[Alsa-user] Help needed ymfpci ac3 passthru

[Barrie G. <bg...@cl...>]

Hi,

Need help, I have read all the docs that come with the SuSE 8.0 updated 
0.9rc3 of alsa, but it was not written for mortals
or at least it's no where near plain english, I could just about 
understand the 0.5.xx version of asound.conf but the new
layout of asound.state has me bamboozled.

The question is simple - try if you do answer to keep it in plain english.

How do I setup for AC3/DTS passthru from DVD-ROM to the spdif 
optical/coaxial outputs of my Hoontech i-Phone Digital XG soundcard 
(YMF-754 chipset),  stereo works fine via optical out.  

Hope you can help.

Also I tried to compile ac3play from alsa ftp but it fails is there an 
rpm out there for SuSE 8.0+Alsa 0.9rc3 ?

yours,

Barrie Grieve
