<pre wrap="">I take it that wrt this patch we are talking about the passthru device, I
have tried ALSA:spdif and don't get any sound when I set it to 5.1 channels,
I am running trunk and my amplifier is connected via optical cable. Can
anyone suggest what a good output device might be.
It works fine with 2 channels using ALSA:iec958 and fine with ALSA:spdif
with 2 channels.

Lee, if you read back a few posts you'll see iec958/spdif outputs
should always be 2-channel.

Thanks Neil, <br>
I understand that iec958 is 2 channel, maybe I am missing the point,
are you saying anything that comes out the spdif (optical port)
regardless of settings will only be 2 channel? Does that mean the max
channels if for a different output method?<br>
<br>
<br>
thanks<br>
Sorry if I am missing the point<br>
