Oh, one more important thing. soundcard has a button (RECORD). And It has to be pressed when used for SPDIF/IN. Because if its not on we get output like: 1. ** CRC failed - skipping frame **
andrej@atlantis:~$ arecord -D spdif:2,0 -t raw -f dat | ac3dec Recording raw data 'stdin' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Stereo ** CRC failed - skipping frame ** Using PCM device 'default' 2. Segmentation fault andrej@atlantis:~$ arecord -D spdif:2,0 -t raw -f dat | ac3dec -D surround51:1,0 Recording raw data 'stdin' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Stereo ** CRC failed - skipping frame ** Using PCM device 'surround51:1,0' argh!
