Hi Everyone. I'm really sorry if this has been covered before, I've read back through the past 6 months list history and found nothing.... and my OS (ubuntu) and application support forums/lists are not being very helpful. I would like to pass digital audio completely unaltered ("bit-stream") to my SPDIF output - Can this be done with pulseaudio? (Yes, I understand that I will lose sound mixing and the ability to have multiple application use the sound device) For example: If I have a stereo PCM file @ 16bit / 44.1khz - Then output at this type (do not resample in any way) ... or PCM @ 24bit / 96khz .... etc. If I have AC3 / DTS @ 48khz - The output this original data exactly. (I am using an external decoder/processor and do not want the original audio data changed in any way). Again - sorry if this is a stupid question, or already answered. I could not find a definitive answer.... I would like to keep pulseaudio if possible - as it is what my Linux distro (ubuntu) has set default. Thanks in advance.
