Hello all,

With the speaker-test program, why is it that I can get all six channels
of surround51 through my analog OUT jacks, but I can only receive the
front left and front right channels via the SPDIF digital OUT?  (The
external digital decoder says it's in "stereo PCM" mode, but I'm obviously
trying to drive all six channels, as if it were in "AC-3" mode.)

But with xine or totem and an AC-3 source, I get full surround51 through
the SPDIF connector, and it switches by itself to "AC-3" mode.

What can I do to address all surround51 channels via SPDIF OUT, with means
other than an AC-3 source?

Thanks!

John
