The SPDIF Dxr3 could be switched between PCM and AC3DATA Mode. The DVB-S is
only capable of PCM output over the SPDIF. With the right programm (like
mplayer) you get the right raw ac3 stream. With my workaround it will be
simliar to the dvb-s sollution (encapsulation AC3 in PCM) but maybe the
Data Bit is set right. I have a receiver (pioneer) which accepts the stream
even without the data bit set right, I can't test it.
