Hi, I've been beating my had against this for several weeks now. (started with fedora 6, tried adding in the plugings etc (version 1.0.12) -- also tried upgrading to the current 1.0.14 version, without success (couldn't produce surround-sound on teh spdif output). I have now switched to fedorea 7 and was able to have rythmbox play surround sound via spdif, but have since lost that ability. (but I'm convinced the hardware and low-level drivers support it). In order to limit the number of moving parts, I have reduced to just trying to get speaker-test to play on all 6 speakers.
SPDIF only supports 2 channels unless the stream is AC3 encoded.
