emu10k1 (Audigy, Rev. 03): No Sound using AC3 Passthrough and Wrong Channel-Routing

Hi,

I have a Soundblaster Audigy (rev 03) card which I have connected via a
coaxial S/PDIF to my AV Receiver. The stereo S/PDIF connection is
working perfectly and I can hear sound and the receiver detects the
digital Stereo PCM Stream correctly.

However, if I try to playback a DVD using mplayer or xine with AC3
passthrough enabled, the receiver does not detect the AC3 stream and
does not switch to Dolby Digital 5.1 and no sound can be heard.

Using iecset before starting xine to play the DVD it gives:

[nolte@ravine ~]$ iecset -x
AES0=0x04,AES1=0x82,AES2=0x00,AES3=0x02

using iecset when xine is started in Passthrough mode, playing back the
DVD gives:

[nolte@ravine ~]$ iecset -x
AES0=0x06,AES1=0x82,AES2=0x00,AES3=0x02

So this seems to be correct to me. I also tried the Information on

http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/DigitalOut

to no avail. What strikes me as odd too is, that I can control the
volume of the normal Stereo PCM output to my main front speakers using
the Rear (or Surround) mixer channel using alsamixer. I believe a while
ago this could be controlled correctly using the Front mixer channel.

If someone could be of help, this would be great. Thanks in adance.
