Udo, I don't know wich 'x' must be for SPDIF input. 'aplay -l' out is: **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: T71Space [Terratec Aureon 7.1-Space], device 0: ICE1724 [ICE1724] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: T71Space [Terratec Aureon 7.1-Space], device 1: IEC1724 IEC958 [IEC1724 IEC958] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: T71Space [Terratec Aureon 7.1-Space], device 2: ICE1724 Surrounds [ICE1724 Surround PCM] Subdevices: 3/3 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Subdevice #1: subdevice #1 Subdevice #2: subdevice #2 I have tried plug:iec958 - capture works this way with 16 bit depth. If I understand well, this way (plug:iec958) we simply add 32-to-16 bit covertion. And all conersion chain is 16-32-16. Can I be sure such conversion keeps a stream with bit-to-bit accuracy? I can not test myself as I have not an external SPDIF stream with before-hand known (with bit-level accuracy) content.
