Thanks, I'm using those all the time, but in this case, the log is
looking the same, for media containing DD or just PCM/MPEG audio.

Alright, there isn't a switch, but config file settings. If otherwise
your S/P-DIF output routes at least PCM to your external amp, then make
sure your ~/.xine/config file contains the following settings for pass
through mode:
# device used for 5.1-channel output
# string, default: iec958:AES0=0x6,AES1=0x82,AES2=0x0,AES3=0x2
audio.device.alsa_passthrough_device:iec958:AES0=0x2,AES1=0x82,AES2=0x0,AES3=0x2
# speaker arrangement
# { Mono 1.0 Stereo 2.0 Headphones 2.0 Stereo 2.1 Surround 3.0
# Surround 4.0 Surround 4.1 Surround 5.0 Surround 5.1 Surround 6.0
# Surround 6.1 Surround 7.1 Pass Through }, default: 1
audio.output.speaker_arrangement:Pass Through
I think I had to adapt the device setting for my card (don't remember
how long I did that and where to get the information from, but the
default is said to work for most cards.
