Good news!!! aplay -D iec958 SURROUNDTEST_DD_640.wav is playing Doubly Digital to my receiver and is working! The file is a 16bit / 44100Khz audio test, the Dolby Digital and all speakers works! Mplayer plays fine too, the problem is when I try to play a movie, the ac3 is 48000Khz, and maybe is not 16bit? How I can see or change to 16bit/44100? Still got problems with any gstreamer sound. I'll try to play with asound.conf... Got the sample from http://www.sr.se/cgi-bin/mall/index.asp?programID=2445 ___________________ Fabrício Nihues 2009/5/25 Fabrício Nihues <fabricio.nihues@xxxxxxxxx>: > Hello Dan! > > Now it's working!
