Hello, Alan;


The following command-line serves as a generic example:

     $ ffmpeg -f ac3 -i /dev/input/spdif -f wav - | mplayer -


The above command launches the ffmpeg program, telling ffmpeg:

     * its input will come from the computer's S/PDIF interface (-i /dev/input/spdif), and that input is AC3 encoded (-f ac3)
     * to apply WAV encoding to its output (-f wav), and to direct that output to stdout - where it is received (and played) by the mplayer program
