with some digging around I found that this now works
pcm.nforce-hw {
type hw
card 0
}
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "nforce"
}
pcm.nforce {
type dmix
ipc_key 1234
slave {
pcm "hw:0,2"
period_time 0
period_size 1024
buffer_size 32768
rate 44100
}
}
so my ac3 pass through works as well as normal sounds through the optic
spdif.
have to admin I have to now work out what the above does!
