The physical device? Just in case you guys aren't familiar with it, the a52 plugin is not like the pulse plugin, which routes from alsa to pulse. Instead, basically it substitute what pulse usually grab. So usually it's like: pulse -> iec958 and now it become: pulse -> (plug:)a52 -> iec958 FWIW, this is mainly useful for S/PDIF only, where multichannel PCM is not possible. So this: pulse(down-mixed stereo / passthrough'd ac3) -> iec958 become this: pulse(6-ch pcm) -> a52(encoded ac3) -> iec958</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
