I am thinking of buying a 5.1 surround sound speakers.

I like to watch DIVX/XVID movies with KAFFEINE and they are all AC3 encoded. So will the surround sound work properly with Ubuntu Feisty and ALSA 1.0.14?

I have Hercules Fortissimo II soundcard.

The SPDIF output on CS46xx-based sound card unlikely works. It's a long-standing bug that transferring non-audio often breaks because of lack of proper SPDIF status bits setting.

I have no clue yet what to fix this...
