The ALSA sound driver works quite well, except that the AC3 stream delivered through the SPDIF output is not recognized by most AC3 decoders. (check ALSA bug 411 for details: https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.ph p?id=411)
In this case, the problem comes from Soundstorm stuff which prevent ALSA driver from correctly setting the hw (Namely RealTek's ALC650 chip which has public specifications).
One of the ALSA developer is quite sure to be able to reverse-engineer Nvidia's audio hardware, but he has no hardware to work on.
Would it be correct to start another thread to ask for a donation for this guy ?
