how did you use the emu10k1 driver and alsa driver working together, have you
different machines for mplayer and vdr.
I set up my machine without alsa.
next I compiled alsa beta10a ...
I didnt modify my modules.conf
I've tested the -a 'ac3dec -P' then the following error apeared "snd_pcm:open
failed: no such file or directory"
must I update modules.conf and load alsa-driver
sometime ago I installed Suse7.3 (christmas) with alsa-beta10a but with this I
can't get ac3passthrough working.
I have a DTT3500 digital speaker set, and there is a green light if there is a
digital signal detected.
any ideas?
