DUUUUUUUUUUUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WORKS BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!<br>This
is running with no xruns on an HP D330ST with 1.5 g RAM, Hardy Heron,
linux-rt package, Edirol UA-1D usb audio, one toslink cable into a Sony
STR-DE445 receiver. The front of the receiver indicates 5.1, I can
mute each channel by breaking the connection in Qjackctl's connection
panel or in ac3jack's gui. Or by checking and unchecking the LFE box.
I have Hydrogen playing directly into the ac3jack device....Ardour is a
little problematic: I just tried to play a mono file through a six
channel bus routed to each ac3jack input, and it's crashed a couple of
times. I'm gonna try FFADO and an Echo Audiofire 12 next week, and
will report then. Mare Sea Bow Koo.<br>

</div></div>I have reimplemented ac3jack completely, but have not yet released it<br>
officially or updated the web site. I need a kick in the pants to do<br>
it. Anyway, here's all you need:<br>
<br>
The new version has a GUI (ac3jack) as well as a cmdline version<br>
(ac3jack_cli), plus OSC control, but best of all integrates the<br>
realtime ALSA output to SPDIF.<br>
<br>
The downside is that it has a few more dependencies. It no longer<br>
uses ffmpeg, instead using the newer and more actively developed<br>
Aften. I've made an SVN snapshot of Aften that you'll need to use<br>
instead of their release version.<br>

<a href="http://essej.net/ac3jack/ac3jack-2.0.0alpha3.tar.gz" target="_blank">http://essej.net/ac3jack/ac3jack-2.0.0alpha3.tar.gz</a><br>
<br>
Aften source:<br>
<a href="http://essej.net/ac3jack/aften-20071020.tar.gz" target="_blank">http://essej.net/ac3jack/aften-20071020.tar.gz</a><br>
You need 'cmake' to build aften. Once you have that, the quick build<br>
instructions are:<br>
$ cd aften-20071020<br>
$ mkdir build<br>
$ cd build<br>
$ cmake ..<br>
$ make<br>
[become root]<br>
# make install<br>
# cp libaften_static.a /usr/local/lib/<br>
<br>
<br>
The other dependencies you'll need are boost, wxWidgets,<br>
libsigc++-1.2, and liblo (all of which are described in the README)<br>
and most of which should be available from your distribution's repositories.<br>
<br>
Building ac3jack is a straightforward ./configure; make; make install, as usual.<br>
<br>
If you are trying out realtime spdif output, I'd especially like your feedback<br>
on how your sound card's SPDIF is presented in the GUI, because I have<br>
not been able to test it with many different setups.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance, please let me know if you have any problems. The<br>
documentation is still a work in progress (and only exists in the<br>
README for the time being, the website is still the old one).<br>
