 Replying to [comment:8 hackeron]:
 > OK, how would I get surround sound through SPDIF (optical or coaxial)
 with pulseaudio?

 I'd ask this on the PA mailing list as Trac is not the correct medium to
 discuss this. The short answer is load an alsa sink with a device=spdif:0
 or something like that (/me has not tried). If you look at the ML
 archives, there are people discussing exactly this over the last few days
 (and me jumping in with an incorrect comment to muddy the waters ;))
