Maybe I should add a new option:  Open the soundcards S/P-DIF out
as real audio PCM out because Logitech Z-680 doesn't handle AC3
encapsulated in PCM forwarded with the standard none audio S/P-DIF
transport protocol.

Could you please check this with a simple one liner change in

       bitstreamout/spdif.c at line 380:

just change

        ch.status[0] = IEC958_AES0_NONAUDIO;

to

        ch.status[0] = 0;

and report the result, many thanks ;^)
