@Peter Antoniac, @Phil.

Yes, it is close.

(THIS PARTICULAR BUG)

At least until further notice.

I'm using Karmic Koala, and like every development version, it crashes
often. A couple ot these crashes, occurred  while I was watching movies
on VLC  (SPDIF output) and the PCM sound don't close at all.

I even, for the sake of testing, reset my desktop - before writing these
lines - while playing sound over spdif, just to make sure.

I don't recommend using it on a production machine.

Wait until Karmic Koala hits Alpha 5 at least, things are about to be
edgy for now own.

it won't work yet)

See, this is the _REAL ISSUE_ here.

A proper SPDIF environment setup is also crucial to the increase
deployment of GNU/Linux on the Desktop.

This must be a high priority!

Ubuntu as the major GNU/Linux distro should put more effort behind it.

There is a Google Summer of Code Project trying to implement passthrough
on FFMPEG

I hope they make it.

I, for one, dream still with gstreamer proper SPDIF support.

Just working out of the box.

Thanks for reading.
