Hello! :)

I' m experiencing some problems with alsa and especially asound.conf. I have had always problems with sound in linux (ubuntu & gentoo), because i use optical SPDIF out with nforce2 soundstorm. Sound never worked "out of the box".

I have an external amplifier+decoder, so i would like alsa to pass every sound analog or digital through SPDIF out (well, almost every sound, i will explain better) :P . I tried the following asound.conf:

Code:
pcm.nforce-hw {
type hw
card 0
}

pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "nforce"
}

pcm.nforce {
type dmix
ipc_key 1234
slave {
pcm "hw:0,2"
period_time 0
period_size 1024
buffer_size 8192
rate 44100
}
}

ctl.nforce-hw {
type hw
card 0
}

And

Code:
pcm.!default {
    type hw
    card 0
    device 2
}



Neither of them did what i wanted. Only audacious and mplayer work ok, because they have a seperate option for alsa device (hw:0.2). In my normal sound card output i have put my headset, and i hear sound from there. The only case i want to hear from my headset is when i using Ekiga (a softphone like Voipbuster).
