I have read that many times already, the problem is not that sound is
not working, it does work perfectly 99% of the time, I have all output
(tv and music etc) going to spdif, ac3 passthru works (on channels
that have ac3) and dts passthru also works  (dvds, hdtv etc), the
problem is that a small number of programmes have MONO audio, and
spdif output does not support mono!

The programme I have this problem with is scrapheap challenge, other
programmes on the same channel (discovery) have 2 channel audio and
they are fine.

I really dont know how to approach this problem, or even if it can be
fixed by changing my configuration, at the moment I dont have a
asound.conf at all, perhaps it is possible to setup one that converts
mono to 2 channel, and leaves everything else as it is ?

I am looking into a user job to change recorded programs to 2 channel
audio, that might do the job..
