On the SB Live, one opens the device for SPDIF out with device name: "iec958:AES0=0x6,AES1=0x82,AES2=0x0,AES3=0x2"
Can the C-Media card also support this ? Then an application like xine, could use the same device name for all audio cards when using alsa 0.9.x Cheers James > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Thomas > Tonino > Sent: 30 January 2002 21:19 > To: Takashi Iwai > Cc: alsa-user; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [Alsa-devel] Re: [Alsa-user] C-Media 8738 SPDIF problem > > > Takashi Iwai wrote: > > > > >- Disable all "IEC958 *" switches except for "IEC958 Output Switch" > > (probably "IEC958 5V" too) > >- run "aplay -Dhw:0,2 foo.wav" and get dump from > > /proc/asound/card0/cmipci. > > > This works: I get output on analog and on spdif.
