Re: Update to FAQ 43: SP/DIF Output for AC97 Chip & SuSE 9.0

I've been able to get this output to work with an AC97 chip (Shuttle SS51G
system) and SuSE 9.0, Ogle 0.9.2, Alsa 0.9.6-66 by doing some things
differently than described in FAQ 43.

1) SuSE 9.0 (which installs Alsa 0.9.6-66) correctly enables and operates
the SP/DIF output on the Shuttle SS51G system as well as the analog
outputs. No configuration is needed to get these outputs to work (SuSE 8.2
and lower did not do this successfully).

2) Simply install the required Ogle rpms for version 0.9.2 (see the
"Download" section on the Ogle web site).

3) Then change the steps in FAQ 43 as follows:
a) Step 1 -- do NOT change the Alsa device name. Leave it set to "default". 
b) Step 2 -- not needed.
c) Step 3 -- Follow step 3 as described.

You will get digital output for 5.1 and DTS 5.1 sound from the SP/DIF
output and Surround sound from the analog outputs.
