Hi all, yesterday I switched my myth box from analog to digital sound output (Asus K8V SE motherboard with its onboard sound). I got it working relatively quickly with "ALSA:digital" driver (also "ALSA:default" worked) but couldn't get the "AC3 passthrough" working correctly - on AC3 DVB-S channels I heard only a noise. At last I managed to get the AC3 passthrough (DVB-S ASTRA HD AC3 5.1 sound) working by setting "ALSA:spdif" in myth. But that broke analog sound (analog TV capture to 32000 Hz MP3). Some analog sounds sometime work for a while if they are 44.1 kHz and the receiver is in a good mood (but it probably plays it a bit faster since 44.1 is replayed as 48 kHz).
So basically I can get everything but real DVB-S AC3 passthrough working with "ALSA:digital" or I can get everything but analog sound with "ALSA:spdif". I copied the .asoundrc from the Digital Sound Howto. Xine works properly with MP3 and AC3 sound. My question is whether it's possible to set up the .asoundrc in a way that it handles both DVB-S AC3 real passthrough and also analog->digital conversion plus 32kHz->48kHz resampling. I currently think that it's not easily possible and that myth should allow me to enter a different sound device for the passthrough. But since xine handles it somehow then it might be possible. Please advise. Thanks. Petr
