Please let me clarify: I own a Hermes MSI 651 (same as Klaus), which
does have an onBoard soundchip with optical digital OUT (it does NOT
have a digital input). So the hardware-solution (connecting the
Nexus-s with digi-in) is not an option. The "card" works fine with
latest alsa 0.9.8 incl. digital out (already connected to my
amplifier).

I am looking forward to some piece of clever software, which routes
all sound from VDR to the soundcard, which outputs it via S/PDIF.

You are talking about 0.46g? (Btw: I could not find a 0.46h you
mentioned in another mail).

And there is my problem again: no digital in :-(

[bitstreamout 0.48pre7 does not compile with gcc 2.95]

The 0.48pre2 does compile with gcc 2.95

Your email-address already indicates that ;-)

Yes, but it would require a newer version of glibc, meaning I'd have
to upgrade each and every package to the unstable tree. Since all
my other software compiles fine with gcc 2.95, I'm unsure about the
consequences of upgrading gcc and running "mixed" binaries.

I see. So I'll wait for a newer version which might even compile with
an older gcc. Thank you for your patience and kind regards

Frederick
