Hi!,
My brother is going to make a gift to me. An Onkyo A/V Receiver. This:
http://www1.shopping.com/xPF-Onkyo_TX_SR501
I would know how can I integrate with my actual VDR box to take the maximum advantage of this features. I supose I have to install the bitstreamout plugin (i have an epia mobo with rca SPDIF audio output), and ac3mode?
The goal I follow is get audio in the 6 speakers I will connect to the amplifier. mp3, mplayer, dvd of course, live tv. I know if the image I'm seeing don't have 6 channels I can't ear six different channels but It's possible to ear the same single channel trhougth the 6 speakers?
Sorry about my poor knowledgements about it.
Thanks. Leo.

Nice gift. Want to adopt me? :-)

If you have a full-featured card, you can connect a optical out to the pin 4 and pin 10 of the J2-Connector.
Look at http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Jumper2 You can easily homebrew a optical SP/DIF-Out like decscribed in this scheme: http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Bild:J2_anschluss_schema.jpg
If you're not familiar with a soldering-iron, you may also use a slot-bracket with SP/DIF from Asus. Maybe you can get one on ebay.
Recent VDR-version work out of the box with these outputs, older ones require the AC3overDVB-patch.

If the mainboard has an internal SPDIF input and if you have a DVB card with internal SPDIF out (J2 jumper block), you could also connect these and pass the sound through the sound card without bitstreamout and without any delay.

The receiver probably has some effect programs to divert a stereo signal to all speakers.
