I would like to test my SPDIF driver implementation. How can I used command line tools to play sample 5.1 music over SPDIF?
I have a file 5.1 AC3 encoded file -- w.ac3
This doesn't work:
iecset -D hw:0 audio off aplay -c 2 -r 48000 -f S16_BE -D hw:0,1 w.ac3
Use 'ac3dec -C <ac3file>' from alsa-tools to play .ac3 files. The spdif output of ac3 format requires some padding. You cannot send contents of .ac3 file directly to PCM device.
