i think i'll try this "-ao alsa:pcm=default".
but as i already mentioned, the softdevice complains about the ac3 stream. perhaps something like "-ao alsa:pcm=default#ac3=default#" will do the job.
so, my real problem was, that i hadn't found any information in how to build up this "-ao whatever" line. it would be nice to know, how this whole '-ao alsa:"description"' thing is working. e.g. where can if find out, what to use as $dev_name in: -ao alsa:pcm=dev_name# -ao alsa:ac3=dev_name#

In most cases it is enough to type: $VDR "-P softdevice -vo xv:full" Softdevice will now use I think the first available alsa card. Do you want to specify another one or whats the reason to specify -ao ..... Best regards Halim

ac3(spdif) is only going to work if you have a sound card with a digital toslink or coaxial connector on it, supported by ALSA, and hooked to a compatible digital stereo receiver, or your sound card has a built in dolby digital decoder. If you have none of that or plan to not use any of that, leave out the ac3 altogether.
The way to use -ao is in the documentation for softdevice.
