[MPlayer-users] Digital output without ac3

[joel at rosafluffmoln.nu]

To get Digital out always on a SBlive i use -ao alsa9:spdif works great, and 
and also -hwac3, to get passthrough on the AC3 streams.

What I really would wanna know is how to get spdif output from OSS. Preferbly 
how to map the /dev/dsp0 to the spdif output. 

Cheers, 
Joel
