[Alsa-user] digital i/o support?

[Michael B. <mic...@st...>]

Hi all,

How can I know which soundcard with digital i/o is supported? The ALSA 
homepage does not help at all (as I understand the soundcard-matrix the 
Hoontech XG is fully supported including its digital i/o... from the mailing 
list archive I learned ITS NOT!!!)

I'm interested in digital out for AC3 (dolby digital) output of DVD Video. 
Is it possible to record AC3 from the digital in? (I have an digital TV 
decoder box and some programs send AC3 audio... could I connect the decoder 
box to the digital in and record the AC3 sound?)

thanks for your help
Michael
