 The attached patch to audiooutputca.h and new audiooutputca.cpp implements
 AC3/SPDIF passthru on those Macintoshes with appropriate hardware (e.g.
 Intel & PPC Minis, iMac's, G5's and Mac Pro's). It may well also work on
 other audio devices that support a co-axial or fibre-optic SPDIF
 connector, make the device your default output device in the Audio MIDI
 Settings utility app and try.

 Note that if you enable AC3/SPDIF Passthru in the settings but do NOT have
 a SPDIF connection to an external decoder you're quite likely to hear
 potentially damaging to your hearing (depending on level) amounts of
 'noise' (undecoded AC3 data) through either your headphones, built-in
 audio or analog external speakers.
