Thank you very much for your plugin and your answer!!!

unfortunately I think not, as one can see in the output of amixer:

./ac3play /data/linux/dvb/from_beyond_the_edge_44k_256kbps.ac3
ac3play: Unable to update the IEC958 control: No such file or directory
ac3play: Period size not available: Invalid argument
Segmentation fault

Does that mean I should forgot to have 5.1?

Thank you very much,
