Is there a media player that can do
something like use the ffmpeg libraries to do the ac3 encoding

Answering my own question, I'm currently listening to music
on my surround system being played via:

mplayer -ao alsa:device=hw=0.0 -af lavcac3enc=tospdif <filename>

Only have to sort through the 47,621,337 possible command line option
combinations to figure it all out :-). (Actually I reused the alsa device
option from the DVD ac3 passthrough magic I found previously on the web).

I guess on the fly audio encoding isn't very demanding, my CPUs
are both hovering around 1 to 2% usage.

If you only have 2 channels, is there some reason to encode as ac3 instead of pcm?
