Hello, I want to feed a 5.1 stream (dca or a52) from another device through a iec958/spdif connection to my computer and play the audio through loopback on the computer, I don't want to do pass-through. The C-Media CM106-based device used with PulseAudio and the loopback module on Ubuntu 14.04 (PulseAudio 4.0) work in stereo, but 5.1 does not. I wanted to set this up for quite some time, but was puzzled how all the parts come together: - There is iecset from the alsa tools to configure iec958 ports (audio/data, consumer/pro), but this is just for outgoing connections, right? - Are there decoding functions in PulseAudio or would I have to use an external program like ffmpeg/avconv to demux and decode the spdif bitstream to PCM? I already found https://www.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-devices.html#pulse and tried that, but couldn't get 5.1 to work. What am I missing or what would I need to do to get this working? Best regards, Benjamin
