[Alsa-user] M-Audio Revolutin 5.1

[Josh <Two...@th...>]

I am channeling everything to the S/PDIF output on this card, but when I 
attempt to send AC3 it doesn't play anything. Here is the output I get 
from using mplayer and hits from a previous post to this list:

=========================

Does this REALLY mean that the M-Audio Revolution 5.1 doesn't support 
AC3 audio out?!
