So what is the simplest command line options and .asoundrc config file setup I should try to verify if SPDIF AC/3 output works? I also need to get a short AC3 encoded sound file somewhere.. are there some directions or a FAQ on how to extract an AC3 sound file from a DVD? -- Troy Benjegerdes | master of mispeeling | 'da hozer' | [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----"If this message isn't misspelled, I didn't write it" -- Me ----- "Why do musicians compose symphonies and poets write poems?
