My spdif hardware is on card #2 (hw=2) the -ao option has the suboption "device=<blah>" So, I can say " -ao alsa:device=hw=2 " and i can also say " -ao alsa:device=spdif " But I seem to need to tell mplayer BOTH. I want it to play spdif through "hw:2" without spdif it simply plays through my analog outputs. And without "hw=2" it can't find the spdif device (apparently because it's not a part of card 0) Help! thanks andrew --
