Newbie seeks help: with AC3 0.70B, How to select 'SPDIF'

Hello,

I have some Divx/Xvid movies with ac3 and I want to select 'SPDIF' as the audio output in BS Player 2.15, to pass the compressed ac3 from BSPlayer to the sound card and then 'SPDIF Pass-through' from the sound card to my external hardware decoder, as I read somewhere that this was the only way to get 6 channels through an optical/coax cable.

To do the 'SPDIF Pass-through' in the sound card I know how to to, but in BSPlayer I don´t know, can you help me?

I have been reding some posts but I am still confused.
Through that reading I discover that my AC3 Filter is the 0.70b version, witch some guys say it´s the most stable version and the best, is that right?

Other question, how do we know witch audio system (ac3,mp3 etc) the movies has? By the movie proprieties or there are programs for that?

Open AC3Filter configuration from start menu. Go to last label named "system" and enable S-PDIF pass through for the selected streams.
There are some programs like Gspot, who can tell you wich codec is used for a file.

Thanx for the answears,

now my external hardware decoder lights the dolby digital signal when i play divx/xvid´s with AC3. Yesssss!
