[MPlayer-users] Decoding AC3 to multiple soundcards ?

[Steffen Neumann]

Hi,

I would like to avoid bying 
an expensive 5.1 soundcard.

Instead I'd like the ac3 signal to be decoded 
and two of the 5 sent to an onboard soundchip,
and the remaining 3 to a cheap 4 channel card.
Alsa is in place for both cards.

Is that feasible ? Would Latency between cards
be a problem ? If not:

How to do this ? Would it need a new 
sound filter plugin ?

Thanx for any answer (be it: "forget it")
yours,
Steffen

P.S.: Though being with Linux for a few years now,
I only started digging into sound a few weeks ago,
so please direct me to appropriate ressources 
if this question is already answered somewhere else.
Checking http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/sound.html
and a search on google did not give any results.
