Well, last night I installed the old OSS driver and activated the SPDIF out with emu-tools for that driver. It worked just fine, and I get PCM data going to my tuner, which the tuner plays great. I switched back to alsa, and for the life of me, I still cant get it to play out of the rear Spdif jack. Anyone have a Sblive 5.1 and have it working? Would ya mind sharing your alsa settings?
