None of the available open source software AC3 encoders are fast enough to do realtime 5.1 encoding I think. The main task would be to try and optimize this. Outputting compressed AC3 frames through alsa is probably the easiest part (see http://www.alsaplayer.org for ac3play) Andy _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-devel
