You must have overlooked something, because I just proofed otherwise:
I have no .asoundrc and I have set:
Audio device: ALSA:default
AC3 passthrough: on
Then I tried different settings for the passthrough device with
different outcomes:
ALSA:spdif -> AC3 5.1 DD sound
ALSA:default -> "helicopter sound"
Default -> no sound
What puzzles me a bit is the difference between "ALSA:default" and
"Default", because "Default" should use the normal audio device, which
is set to "ALSA:default", it should have been the same.
