You can use ALSA to pass through AC3 and DTS in mplayer by providing a 'alsa:spdif' as a default audio output (mplayer option 'ao') and 'hwac3,hwdts,' as audio codec (mplayer option 'ac', note the comma!).
Thank you for your explanations, alsa:device=spdif works for me. I will also try the solution provided by Colin Guthrie. _______________________________________________ pulseaudio-discuss mailing list pulseaudio-discuss@mail.0pointer.de https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss
