Description:
 AC3Jack is a tool for creating an AC-3 (Dolby Digital) multichannel stream 
from its JACK input ports. Using this tool, an AC-3 stream (up to 5.1 channels) 
is created in real time and either written to a file or streamed to a SPDIF 
output.

If the SPDIF port on your audio interface for connection to a multichannel 
surround receiver, you can achieve full 5.1 surround mixing and monitoring of 
your JACK applications with a single digital cable, and no need for hardware 
supporting discrete outputs and inputs.

AC-3 is a compressed audio stream, so quality will suffer somewhat, but it is 
the price you pay for easy surround sound. The AC-3 encoder used here comes 
from the Aften project and although the sound quality seems good, I haven't 
seen any direct quality comparisons with commercial encoders. 

Now has a GUI for the main functions.
