[linux-dvb] Re: Dolby Digital + external DD receiver + sblive

Maybe wrong, but have you tried ./play-ac3 test.ac3 in the directory where
play-ac3 resides ? (Often the current dir isn't in the path - so the shell
cannot find your specified command)
And do you have rights for both files ? Be sure to have xrw rights to the
play-ac3 and at least r to test.ac3.

Martin.
