As already said: the DVB FF cards are not able to mark their
S/P-DIF out as non-audio PCM (for e.g. AC3 copressed data).
The questions is:

     Does your receiver work together with the old AC3ovdrDVB
     patch for e.g. vdr 1.3.17?

Nevertheless, the non-audio PCM structure for putting AC3 copressed
data to the receiver are all the same in the AC3ovdrDVB patch, the
new firmware 0x261d, and the bitstreamout plugin.

Currently I've not time to move bitstreamout plugin forwared to
VDR 1.3.20, sorry.
