thats quite sure. the only way momentarly getting the softdevice running is with "-ao dummy:". without it, it complains about: "[softdevice-audio] Playback open error: plug:spdif, Invalid argument FATAL exiting". for my understanding, it gets ac3 audio stream from the tv-card, and tries to open the default audio, spdif in this way. i just must redirect it to the right device, but which one? i'm searching for a command line containing somethings like "-ao alsa:pcm=plug:spdif#ac3=plug:spdif#". as one can see, i've tried several "plugs" like spdif, default, line and front, but none worked. i've searched some time the net, but nothing found explaining something like this. i explicitly do not want to learn the alsa api, write my own program, which in turn tests some various strings, witch might work for my softdevice. (i've already taken a look at the api, and it is a bit difficult for my limited programming skills...)
