Thanks, life can be so simple :-)

Though one problem for SB Live! users (including me) remains:
If you want to dump raw AC3 data through the SPDIF out, you have to execute
a command to prepare the card for this mode ("IEC958 Optical Raw").

The problem: You can't hear normal audio while you are using this mode.

Is there already a solution for this of problem?
