Does vlc have support for 5.1 audio from optical out through a reciver?
I can't get it to work anyway and have been told it is not supported but I wanted to ask here to be sertain.

cheers! / Lutz

What device do you have to connect to the optical cable? I know the Sonica Transit, for one. I think supplying the optical output is up to interface. I read that Apple's DVD Player will let the digital audio pass through.
