I have a mac G4 (running debian testing), a ymfpci card (MaxiSound Fortissimo) with optical TOSlink out, and a yamaha HTR-5540 receiver with digital optical TOSlink input.
I'm trying to get xine or some other DVD player to output AC/3 sound to the receiver for watching dvd's, and I have a couple of problems. 1) xmms (and xine 2-channel sound) works with OSS emulation, but is static with native ALSA drivers. This seems like some endian problem 2) spdif out does not seem to work. Here are some of the messages from xine: audio_alsa_out : supported modes are 8bit mono stereo (4-channel not enabled in xine config) (5-channel not enabled in xine config) (5.1-channel not enabled in xine config) a/52 and DTS pass-through audio_out: stream audio format is 48000 kHz sampling rate, 16 bits. mode is 1. audio_alsa_out: Audio Device name = iec958:AES0=0x6,AES1=0x82,AES2=0x0,AES3=0x2 audio_alsa_out: Number of channels = 2 audio_alsa_out: pcm hw_params failed: No such device or ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:292:(snd_pcm_hw_hw_params) SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_HW_PARAMS failed: No such device or addressALSA lib pcm_hw.c:292:(snd_pcm_hw_hw_params) SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_HW_PARAMS failed: No such device or address So where do I get started to fix this? Also, where can I get some short raw AC3 encoded sounds to test with something like aplay?
