Keeping /dev/dsp in digital out mode?

[Stephen Hocking]

Hi,

All of my systems are connected to a home theatre amp via an analogue
connection except for one, which used an optical connection.
Unsuprisingly, the digital connection sounds better (less noise etc).
Has anyone experimented with keeping the output in digital mode all
the time? I guess that some things would have to be resampled (I'm
thinking of some games that only use 22KHz output etc, and some cards
will only output digital at 48KHz). Any ideas?
