Hey, it works!
Thank you very much Floris
I see that at least it works on two mkv files I have, where I get the
lock led on and the mode remains to "digital"
(and clearly the sounds come different from the different speakers, so
it is all ok).
Now with your suggestion In file 1 that works, mplayer says
[mkv] Track ID 2: audio (A_DTS) "Audio - Italiano DTS", -aid 0, -alang ita
Trying to force audio codec driver family hwac3...

AO: [alsa] 48000Hz 2ch ac3 (1 bytes per sample)
In file 2 that works, mplayer says the same; only difference is
[mkv] Track ID 2: audio (A_DTS) "Italiano 5.1", -aid 0, -alang ita
The important part is A_DTS, so it is that which defines the kind of
audio track, correct?
I will try also with a DTS DVD I have somewhere ...
So my problem seems solved (at least up to next update... ;-)
Only strange thing is that if I play with the same switch the demo
file I used to test at the beginning with aplay, I don't hear any
sound and the lock led remains switched off.
So it seems nothing goes through optical link now....
Any clues to this? Below is the output of mplayer with "-v" switch
