Well, if it was its own subdevice like hw:0,2 it would have some hope of being detected by HAL, PulseAudio, etc. If it's just a substream then I don't think that software can actually tell it's a separate output and not just a HW mixing-type stream, etc. > >> Hopefully VIA will also look into the SPDIF no-output problem I have >> with VT1828S.. > > What is the problem, specifically? With the latest patch I do get the optical output lighting up and the receiver detects a PCM signal, but it seems to be just silence coming through. (In previous iterations the SPDIF digital converter wasn't being enabled automatically so it didn't get even that far.) _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
