with mplayer I used to use this command to get spdif output: |
| 18 |
mplayer -afm hwac3 blah.avi |
| 19 |
|

also, with the old (2.24?) gnome alsa mixer, I found I had to add the |
| 21 |
spdif or IEC device (can't quite remember), and although it was a |
| 22 |
slider, it only worked in an on or off fashion. |

Not much help for you I know, but I can't run the same mixer anymore to |
| 25 |
find out. |
