Why? audio in my car is done via spdif and I expect to have audio for both music and gps directions at the same time. ?Is this going to be possible? ?Thanks > in advanced. > > Nasa That was my thread. I'm not sure if any of the arguments are optional so you may try copying mine in its entirety. Something like: load-module module-alsa-sink device=spdif format=s16le rate=44100 channels=2 sink_name=digital Two things, at the time I commented out "load-module module-hal-detect" so the digital out would be the only device available. Also, make sure your receiver can handle 44.1kHz PCM audio. If it doesn't work try using "48000" instead. Richard
