</div>Interestingly enough, I just did a simple test on my desktop, i.e.<br>
"aplay -D spdif Shutdown1.wav" or something like that. I just picked a<br>
file out of /usr/share/sounds and it worked! aplay showed it was a<br>
44.1kHz file. I tried /usr/share/sounds/alsa first but those we<br>
already 48kHz. Now I just need to see if my Home Theater receiver<br>
minds 44.1kHz PCM audio.<br>
