Hi! does anyone knows how to play DVDs with an audigy card, using the digital 
output in the front, to output 5.1 channels to a external decoder?

I tried emu10k1 driver from creative labs, also i tested alsa 9.6, using this 
line:

mplayer -ac hwac3 -ao alsa9 dvd://1

and

mplayer -ac hwac3 -ao alsa9 -channels 6 dvd://1


in both cases i get:

Checking audio filter chain for 48000Hz/2ch/16bit -> 48000Hz/2ch/8bit...
AF_pre: af format: 2 bps, 2 ch, 48000 hz, big endian AC3
AF_pre: 48000Hz 2ch AC3
alsa-init: requested format: 48000 Hz, 2 channels, AC3
alsa-init: soundcard set to iec958:AES0=0x2,AES1=0x82,AES2=0x0,AES3=0x2

cards.pcm.iec958)
alsa-init: playback open error: Invalid argument

and

Do you know what can be the problem? can you tell me that if another sound 
card can output digital spdif for 5.1 audio?

Thank you
