Hi all,

I've been trying to get ac3 output through my onboard
creative PCI 128 sound card (The CT5880 chip) This
works fine in windows but obviuosly I'd like to get it
working in linux. I have spdif working for normal
sound. anyway here are the logs the main problem seems
to be the "Sample format big endian AC3  not yet
supported" line but all the messages I can find that
talk about this say it has been fixed????

First log from running
mplayer -dvd 1 -ac hwac3
