Dear all, Still haven't been able to get sound through S/PDIF. I know a little about trouble shooting and today I checked if the receiver could receive DTS from another TOSLINK S/PDIF enabled machine and yes, my receiver works! The reason I am writing is that I'm out of options and wonder if this might be a bug in a untested environment for ALSA, were I may help to fix. Or maybe I'm just missing something. Thanks for your help!
