[mythtv-users] using AC3..

[henk willems]

One little thing I wanted to share about this... when I run Mplayer with the 
digital device it runs without giving errors and I still get that chunky 
jittery sound, but when I look at alsamixer while mplayer is playing IEC958 
Optical Raw is turned on again, even though I turned it off before starting 
mplayer... is this normal behaviour? For some reason this makes me think 
alsa doesn't control my SB Live at all or something :(
