[mythtv-users] using AC3..

Just spotted this topic in a previous reply from Jarod..

So thought I'd take it to a new topic..

My setup has been running *quite* smoothly with cvs for ages now..  but 
theres something thats bugging me.. and I know its a lack of knowledge 
on my part thats causing it..

I have a decent sound system in my living room.. and my myth box's sound 
card has an s/pdif output.. and although I'm using it.. I *suspect* it 
could sound even better...

I presume using AC3 is the way to go.. but have absolutely *no* idea how 
to go about it..

 From memory.. I must be using OSS Emu.. as myth is still pointing at 
/dev/dsp..

So is there any docs on using *pure* alsa.. and ac3 output for 
myth/alsa/fc2 ? and if not.. could some nice person (looks at Jarod cos 
I know he's doing the same) point me in the right direction?

I'm running fc2 with *all* updates and, as mentioned, cvs..

Thanks

Craig
