when i try aplay -Dplug:spdig mywav.wav , it doens't give an error
anymore, but it doesn't play sound either... i rechecked alsamixer and
i have turned all my DAC sliders to the max, enabled everything
concerncing  IEC958 output, and user all H/W (there are five of them,
i don't know exactly what they do) options for PCM out.. but still no
sound

Does simple 'aplay -Dplug:spdif foo.wav' work?

hello,

i'm trying to get all my sound throught the SP/DIF (coax) output of my
card. i'm using the latest development drivers (1.0.11rc1)  because it
is the only version that supports the M-Audio Revolution 5.1

I have according to the wiki, set up a dmix device to adjust the sound
to proper settings and make it go through the spdif connector by
default.
When i try to use the device (i tried aplay and mpg123), i get an
error message saying the sample format is not availlable:

aplay: set_params:901: Sample format non available

This is my /etc/asound.conf :

pcm.!default {
      type plug
      slave.pcm "dmixer"
}

pcm.dmixer  {
      type dmix
      ipc_key 1024
      ipc_gid 1024
      slave {
              pcm "hw:0,1"
              format S32_LE
              period_time 0
              period_size 1024
              buffer_size 8192
              rate 44100
      }
      bindings {
              0 0
              1 1
      }
}

ctl.dmixer {
      type hw
      card 0
      device 1

i've tried different formats (S16_LE, S32_BE, ...) but none of the
work. Anybody knows what could be the problem?

Thanks a lot in advance!

greetings,
Pieter-Jan
