[vdr] broken audio on FF card

seams i have broken the audio chipset on my galaxy FF card. also getting audio from the spdif connectors did not work out nicly because there, the left channel is missing (no idea, how this is possible at all). i tried even with 2 different soundcards. playing pcm both channels work.

so my question is, do i have to dump the card or is there a plugin, that can play video via the FF card and send audio to a soundcard? i thought about something like bitstream but for stereo (bitstream will not work, will it?).

any tips, what i can do to rescue the FF card? :-)

thx & best regards ... clemens
