Ok, here we go:

Test-setup: PIII-600 with Nova-S (/dev/dvb/adapter0) and Nexus-S 
(/dev/dvb/adapter1) connected via coax SPDIF to a Harman-Kardon AVR 4500.

To get test_av_play to work in my environment I had to modify line 508 
in test_av_play.c from

<               videodev = getenv("AUDIO");
>               videodev = getenv("VIDEO");

and set the environment variables VIDEO and AUIDO to "../adapter1/..".

Afterwards I played some recordings with DD5.1 (from Pro7) and some 
recordings with DD2.0 (from Sat.1).

- test_av_play without '-d' parameter -> HK displays PCM
- test_av_play with '-d' parameter -> HK displays "Dolby Digital" either 
5.1 or 2.0

-> replay seems to be OK in all cases

Playing these recordings with a vdr-1.3.12 with AC3overDVB-patch is also 
OK with PCM or with AC3overDVB active.

Note: I replayed the recordings only for about a minute in each case.

HTH, Alex
