RE: [Alsa-devel] AC3 passthru intel8x0 + cs4299

Sun, 23 Feb 2003 11:38:05 -0800 

Hi,
 
the reason for AC3 passthru is my little VDR box http://www.activy300.1xu.de/ , there 
is a bitstream plugin
for VDR that can use the alsa driver like ac3play from alsa. 
Right now I'm still looking at the code but can't fine the right place to send the 
bits to the chip.

           Another question: do you have to be able to access the IEC958 directly to
        send AC3 to it?  Currently the cs4299, cs4297a, and the cs4294 merely copy the
        playback data to the IEC958 port, without direct access.  Could you simply 
power
        down the playback SRC and the DAC, send data to the card, and let the codec 
copy
        the unmodified steram to the IEC958 output as usual, allowing an AC3 stream to 
be
        sent to an external decoder?
           I realize there may be timing and other issues involved, I'm only asking 
this
        from a theoretical standpoint
