I have a J7F2WE1G2E board, which has to be the same or pretty similar to
yours. Pass through works fine for me. I'm using Minimyth and the only
configuration I made was to choose alsa:spdif as the audio output and
click the two pass-through buttons. I haven't knowingly set up anything
specific to xine.

Not sure about 5.1. Generally my TV says it's detecting 2/2 data when
I play a DVD. Also playback of TV shows seems to correctly drive the
prologic circuitry in my TV: the TV doesn't show detection of that, but
I can hear the back channel giving a sort of cut down surround.

Cheers,
Paul.

 What happens when you try a command like this:
 
   aplay -D spdif something.wav

[Alsa-user] AC-3 Passthrough doesn't works

Hi,

I use the following hardware with Fedora 8:

Jetway Board with VIA Eden Processor 1200MHz

VIA 8237 with VIA1617A

CN700 Chipset

that owns a coaxial S/PDIF out. Replaying of stereo PCM data using that output 
works fine but I have big troubles getting it configured for 5.1 AC-3 data. 
Within xine I have set up the speaker arrangement Pass Through that wotks 
fine with stereo data. But when I try to replay a DVD with AC-3 data xine only 
tells me that the audio device is not available.

Nobody at the xine mailing list could help me so I have to ask it here: which 
audio device could mentioned here that is not available for AC-3 pass through? 
How could I solve that problem?
