okay, I installed the emu10k1.o module and loaded it. 
Compiling of play-ac3 did just fine and I extracted a 
ac3-stream to a file out of a DVD. If I try to play 
this sound file with "play-ac3 test.ac3" I get the 
error message "open: no such file or directory". Both 
play-ac3 and test.ac3 do exist!

Any ideas?
