That is ugly. You should access analog audio via the "front:xxx" device, and digital audio via "spdif:yyy". Thou shalt not use the raw "hw:xxx" device string. > Now I get sound via the digital output, but I have other problems: > > - pulseaudio won?t start without the connected Audiophile USB device. > - pulseaudio stops working and crashes after a time if the USB device is > disconnected. Crashes? Could you get me a backtrace for that? PA shouldn't crash. > So what can I do to configure pulseaudio in a way, that it can play > digital output via the USB device but is able to survice the > connect/disconnect situation? All that's necessary for PA 0.9.15 to pick it up is that the "spdif:xxx" device works. If it doesn't, then please file a bug against ALSA. Try: aplay -f CD -D spdif:xxx < /dev/urandom Lennart -- Lennart Poettering Red Hat, Inc. lennart [at] poettering [dot] net http://0pointer.net/lennart/ GnuPG 0x1A015CC4
