That's a pain in butt. :(  Is there any plan to support this in the near 
future? Otherwise a new soundcard it is then. Is ac3 pass through 
supported on other Audigy models e.g. Audigy 2 ZS, Audigy 4 Pro etc? Or 
maybe another card, M-Audio Audiophile 2496?
I have an AC97 intel8x0 based card onboard with digital out, so I think 
I'll give that a try in the mean time.
