It's perfectly possible, I'm such a confusionist... :)
But anyway, we're talking about two different
parameters to obtain the same. Yours, I have to say,
after a long thinking, should be the right one. But
still, it is a prameter enclosed in a config file,
which is evil to most of the users. So it still needs
to be ported to the gui.
So my original idea still holds, it just now points to
a different parameter.

No. I am intergrating it into a home ent system, but
simply an analog one. My amp has 6 pre-in which I must
connect to 6 output from my audio card.

Well, modern dvd players actually do both what we're
saying. They output a downmixed version to the stereo
out, which can be connected to the CD-in of the
amplifier to listen to ... CDs, and they output the
entire data stream to the digital out.
But again, one other question comes to mind: doesn't
mplayer expect some exact parameter wheter it has to
pass out the AC3 stream or a PCM stream? It's not the
same, is it? Can it be automatical?
In conclusion, maybe what I was asking is a little bit
too much, after all. In the end, it's enough to set a
good resolution for the TV set, and good options for
DVD playback or CD playback.
Bye
