How can/should I setup the CCCP components for S/PDIF audio output?
NOTE: As of CCCP17 (2008-09-21), you can access all these settings from the CCCP Settings. First of all go into the ffdshow audio decoder configuration (from the CCCP entry created in the start menu for example) and select Codecs on the left, which should give you a list of formats and selected decoders for them on the right. The Decoder column there will actually give you a drop-down list for each format, when clicked with a mouse or if you press space when a line is selected. You will have to set that decoder for the desired formats (usually AC3 and DTS) to S/PDIF. You may also want to re-encode all other formats to AC3 when necessary. For this, select Output on the left, and check the AC3 checkbox, and right below that the Encode only 5.1ch streams checkbox too. You might also have to set the Bitrate to something appropriate for your target.
