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.

My patch indeed broke AC3 passthrough.  However, it fixed the incorrect
channel routing of the rear analog output.

The problem of the swapped rear channels is a bug in either the hardware
or in the firmware Yamaha provided to us, so the driver has to work around
it by swapping the rear channels before playing them.  The rear channels
are a resource shared between the rear analog output and the digital
output, so the channel swapping workaround affects both outputs (although
the bug itself affects only the analog output).

A later patch added the rear_swap module option so that the user can
choose which one of the outputs is right.  Use "rear_swap=1" to get
correct AC3 output.
(This module option probably should be a mixer option.)

Euh. Now I'm confused.

My interpretion of the docs are that default options in 1.0.11 are to do
output so AC3 works. This seems like a sane behaviour to me, since AC3 has
worked before and there are probably more users of AC3 surround than
analog output surround.

Also, I have tried 1.0.11 both with rear_swap=0 and =1
(using modprobe snd-ymfpci rear_swap=X)
and neither works.

Am I missing something obvious?
