Comment:

 (In [8941]) Fixes #1105, by applying cleaned up version of funaho AT jurai
 dt org's patch.

 This looks bigger than it is. It touches so many files because it adds a
 parameter to two audio init rutines. Basically, this is a fix for AC3/DTS
 decoders that do not auto-detect AC3/DTS using the frame headers. With
 this commit we open the SPDIF device in the proper mode when starting
 playback.

 Non-auto-detecting decoders will probably not cope well with time-stretch
 changes; but this commit should now allow the use AC3/DTS passthrough on
 such devices when time-stretch is not used.

 With Mark Spieth's AC3 patches, time-stretch changes should be supported
 on non-auto-detecting AC3 decoders.
