I am trying to turn my computer into a surround sound preamp. I am running Ubuntu Studio 14.04. The only audio source that is external to my computer that I do not know how to handle is a tos link from my TiVo carrying a Dolby Digital stream. I have a sound card (Xonar D2) with a toslink input that works. I am able to input optical output of a cd player and play it with my sound card via arecord -f cd -D plughw:1,0 | aplay - The question is what are the correct command line parameters to use if the audio stream on the tos link input is a Dolby Digital (AC3) steam from my TiVo box. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Comprehensive Server Monitoring with Site24x7.
