Hi I am trying to get the a52 plugin to work with my Soundblaster Extigy. The Extigy has a second device that accepts an S/PDIF formatted AC3 stream. If I set the speaker arrangement in xine to passthrough and this device (hw:2,2 Extigy is card 2) I get proper surround sound.
As far as I understand it, the a52 plugin takes its input and produces an appropriate stream. Unfortunately, it seems that the output is predetermined to be iec958:{CARD=$CARD}, but if try to use the device, like pcm.myout { type a52 card 2 } then I get the following error: ALSA lib confmisc.c:1105:(snd_func_refer) Unable to find definition 'cards.USB-Audio.pcm.iec958.0:CARD=2,AES0=6,AES1=130,AES2=0,AES3=2' ALSA lib conf.c:3479:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such file or directory ALSA lib conf.c:3947:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such file or directory ALSA lib pcm.c:2146:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM iec958:{AES0 0x6 AES1 0x82 AES2 0x0 AES3 0x2 CARD 2} aplay: main:547: audio open error: No such file or directory Does anyone know how I can get the output of the a52 plugin redirected to hw:2,2?
