Yes, these are exactly what I am using (although I do not get any options other than the blank field for "Audio Output Device"). But when I tick the "AC3 to SPDIF passthrough", still only a clicking noise for the digital channels.
<br><br>I suppose I should try compiling my own. I have already installed the Xcode tools. But I'm not sure I understand the difference between the source in /trunk and the source in /branches/release-0-20-fixes, since they both have essentially the same age. Do you know what the difference is?
