   I would recommend looking into setting up a mixer function to enable/disable
the playback SRC, the DAC, and the /Audio bit.  This way you can use alsamixer or
your mixer of choice to turn AC3 passthru on/off.
   You can set which functions handle muting/unmuting of each slider, so you (in
theory) should be able to have a one function to setup the card for AC3 passthru
when you unmute "AC3-Passthru" (or whatever you name the slider), and another to
reconfigure the card for normal playback when you mute "AC3-Passthru".
   Sorry, I'd help but finals in school just won't allow that.  (BTW, what would be
the standard mixer name used for AC3 passthru?)
