I finally successfully tested playing test.spdif with
aplay -Dplughw:1,3 -t raw -r 48000 -f S16_LE -c 2 test.spdif
(1,3 is hdmi, it also works with -Diec958)
Note that -c 2 is always needed!

ffmpeg -f alsa always shows this error for me if I use the same plughw as above:
av_interleaved_write_frame(): Resource temporarily unavailable

Does anybody have suggestions on how spdif_header_eac3() should look like? Using
spdif_header_ac3() leads to silence for eac3 (with the receiver showing "Dolby
Digital" so I guess we first need IEC958_EAC3).
I would happily test guesses.
