    IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output
null
    Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)
default:CARD=CMI8738
    C-Media CMI8738, C-Media PCI IEC958
    Default Audio Device
front:CARD=CMI8738,DEV=0
    C-Media CMI8738, C-Media PCI DAC/ADC
    Front speakers
iec958:CARD=CMI8738,DEV=0
    C-Media CMI8738, C-Media PCI DAC/ADC
    IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output


I'd like to get mythtv to use either my
Alsa:plug:surround51
and have it use the surround51 from my first ( Audigy2 card ) but when I
specify this, I get:
Unable to find definition 'cards.Audigy2.pcm.surround51.2:CARD=0'
... it looked up the right card ( Audigy2 ) but it didn't like something....


This worked BEFORE I added the 2nd ( c-media ) card.

OR

use the iec958 driver for the C-Media audio card.
I don't know how to specify the C-Media:iec958 driver -vs- the
Audigy2:iec958 driver.
If I just say ALSA:plug:iec958 it tries to load the Audigy2 version of the
iec958 driver.

Anyone have any ideas?
