This project implements a plugin for the Video Disk Recorder also called "VDR"
(http://www.cadsoft.de/people/kls/vdr)
to support the bitstreamout of Dolby Digital audio streams also called "AC-3" or "A52"
through the
S/P-DIF
out plug of a sound card supported by ALSA
(Advanced Linux Sound Architecture).
No decoding(!) of the bitstream will happen during forwarding the data, at least a
sound card with
S/P-DIF
out and a hardware decoder or an amplifier/receiver
with integrated decoder is required (most modern A/V Receiver have such thing)
connected to the sound cards
S/P-DIF
out.
