[mythtv-users] Mplayer No Digitial Audio with MP3 or PCM

[Kirk Bocek]

I finally got digital audio working with my GT-220 thanks to Axel and his 
newly working alsa 1.0.23 modules for CentOS 5. Thanks Axel.

MythTV playback sounds great with a simple .asoundrc file:

pcm.!default {
	type hw
	card 1
	device 3
}

And mplayer works great with a couple of lines in the ~/.mplayer/config file:

ao=alsa:device=hw=1.3
ac=hwac3,hwdts,

However...

I have some AVI home movies, generally Xvid with MP3 or PCM audio and setup to 
be played with mplayer. mplayer refuses to play the audio of these files 
through the digital output. There are no error messages in the mythfrontend 
log file.

DTS and AC3 audio through mplayer sound great. MythMusic plays my MP3s just 
fine in the new setup.

Can anyone tell me what's wrong with my mplayer setup for these AVI files?

Thanks,
Kirk Bocek
