I'll try that, does this require reloading the alsa modules after installing
this asound file or just the command above?
So just to make sure I understand. This implements ac3 passthru so that my
Creative Desktop Theatre amp will use the ac3 signal to properly play the
audio to my 5.1 speakers.
Is there an easy way to use this with Xine, or Ogle, or say Mythvideo (or was
that MythDVD, I can't remember).
Now, what output are you refering to? Do you mean the stereo mini
analog/digital jack on the card (above the mic jack at the top end of the
card) or the spdif connector that exists on my digital io card (or livedrive
bay, what have you)?
