I have now tested 0.9.1 driver & lib with mplayer 0.90rc4 and xine-lib-1-beta8/xine-ui-0.9.19. Both worked very well. xine works more or less out of the box¹ (just tick the a52_pass-thru under sound options), while mplayer needed to be started like this; mplayer -ao alsa9:mmap -ac hwac3 video_with_ac3.mpeg Finally I can retire my rotten sb live! for good :) [¹] xine did have some odd behaviour when it came to navigating dvd menus that didn't have sound on all pages. It would make some highpitched noise when entering a silent page. Don't know if the problem is with xine or the driver, but it sounds like the spdif loops the last few samples instead of going silent. -- Ronny V.
