So that must be pretty cool.  So your nVidia card (again, assuming since you
never specified) is outputting LPCM to your receiver over HDMI.  Are you
using mplayer?  What did you have to do to get this working?  Did you just
compile latest FFMPEG and MPLAYER?  What switches did you use on MPLAYER?
Thanks!
