James,

Yay! This patch works. My receiver is now happily detecting ac3 streams.
I tested dolby 2.0, 5.1 and dts 5.1 streams.

To our Vagrant friend, I can only suggest that he double check that
he has the modified conf file in place.

So, if I read the diff right, the delay *does* need to be applied for
this card, but it has to be applied in the dsp code rather than in
the conf file?

Much thanks!
