I've scoured the net and this mailing list for information about how to enable AC3/DTS passthrough on the S/PDIF connector on my new Creative Mp3+ USB box.
The only thing I've been able to find is a vague reference saying something that spdif passthrough is not available in usb-audio. Is this the truth? If it is the truth, will it remain so forever, or is anyone working on it?
If it is not true, what am I doing wrong? I can get regular stereo output on the digital out. I've got the box set to digital only, which I've worked out is a requirement in windows. I have tried playing stuff both with "aplay -Dspdif" (is this correct?) and with "mplayer -ac hwac3".
Would be very grateful for any help, since the passthrough was really the reason I bought the gadget, and I may be returning it if it's not going to work now or any time soon...
