Hi<br>
<br>
After a LOT if fighting with this problem... I FINALY made it work!<br>
<br>
Here's what I did.<br>
<br>
1. Upgraded to alsa 1.0.19 (not sure if I needed to though).<br>
2. added a /etc/asound.conf file containing:<br>
pcm.!default {<br>
type plug<br>
slave {<br>
rate 48000<br>
pcm "spdif"<br>
}<br>
}<br>
<br>
3. Deselected "use video as timebase" in MythTV.<br>
<br>
Now regular channels work (sending PCM over SPDIF to my receiver), and<br>
HD channels with sending AC3/DTS directly to the receiver over SPDIF.<br>
:D<br>
<br>
<br>
Maybe there should be some warning with "use video as timebase" - as<br>
it does NOT with when using passthrough.. ?<br>

It is my belief that adding that line might cause alsa to sample and re-encode and thus degrade the data although I am not sure. It works without that line on my system.</span></div>
