Summary:                    ac3 passthrough not working on recent versions
Description: 
Using the following AC3 passthrough with mplayer works:
Linux 2.4.31
alsa-driver 1.0.8-7 (debian stable packaged)

Using Linux 2.6.15 (both with alsa-driver 1.10rc3 that ships with the
kernel and
alsa-driver 1.0.11) it doesn't work. The reciever just says "unlock" and
stays quiet.

The only change is booting with different kernels, no other config or
hardware is touched, so this must be a driver regression.

The card is YMF-754 based, connected with coax spdif to my HK reciever.

If you need more info, just tell me and I'll dig it up.

I've started from 1.0.9b and applied patch by patch up to 1.0.11rc2. I
figured out, that this patch from Clemens Ladisch
http://hg-mirror.alsa-project.org/alsa-kernel?cmd=changeset;node=218164651eb8;style=gitweb
breaks the AC3-passthrough.

playing mp3 or ac3 the AC97 register are filled with the same values, but
there is a difference between version 1.0.11rc2, which comes with my SUSE
10.1 Kernel, and my patched 1.0.9b without Clemens patch:

Clemens will review his patch.
