[vdr] Some OT: ac3iec958 (aka AC3 embedded in PCM)

["Dr. Werner Fink" <werner@suse.de>]

For those who are interested may download and test

      http://www.theiling.de/downloads/ac3iec958-0.1.1.tar.gz

a nice C++ program to embedded AC3 frames within PCM (whereas
for Digital Audio CD a AC3 with 44.1 kHz sample rate is
required ... nevertheless 16bit/48kHz over S/PDIF for sound cards
supporting both may work).

For a description how this works one may read
