[MPlayer-users] howto put mp3 through spdif to a receiver with mp3 decoding

[Dieter Bloms]

Hi,

my receiver (harman kardon avr435) has a mp3 decoder included.
I tried to put the mp3 files through spdif to my receiver, but it seems
that my soundcard doesn't like it.

Is it possible to put mp3 data via spdif to a receiver like ac3 data ?

I use an epia me6000 board with a via chip "VIA Technologies, Inc.
VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50)"

Btw.: ac3 works fine for me.

Here's the output :
