#837: A52 (ac3/Dolby Digital) encoding for SPDIF / Pulseaudio

 I am using Lucid 10.04 LTS.

 I have managed to get A52 encoding through SPDIF to work with Alsa
 following broadly this guide: http://www.johannes-
 bauer.com/linux/dolby/?menuid=3

 I have struggled to get this to work with Pulseaudio. I have tried a
 custom default.pa without the hardware autodetection and adding lines
 like:
 load-module module-alsa-source device=WebCamMic source_name=WebCamMic
 load-module module-alsa-sink device=HDMI sink_name=HDMI
 load-module module-alsa-sink device=Filter_RateConvert sink_name=SPDIF

 But the Pulseaudio server complains because of the Filter_RateConvert line
 with:
 E: alsa-sink.c: Assertion 'err != -11' failed at modules/alsa/alsa-
 sink.c:395, function try_recover(). Aborting.

 Is this a bug?

 Please can someone tell me how to get Dolby Digital encoding through SPDIF
 working with Pulseaudio on Lucid.
