[mythtv-users] Digital Audio out with Via chipset

[Brian Boyle]

After checking out the whiki digital howto site I figure that since you
can resample you should able to change the volume. Sadly the site is
sound blaster specific.

I'm using SPDIF on the Soundblaster Audigy. Controlled by ALSA. Volume 
control works for me. I don't have to mess with the amp. The driver 
probably just changes the amplitude before converting it to a digital 
stream out the SPDIF.
