AIW Radeon DVD playing and AC-3

I just got my AIW Radeon today (Thanks Hawk!) and am trying to figure out how to get the audio configuration to work correctly.
A CD-Digital cable goes from my DVD drive to the SPDIFF-in on my SB Live. I use the digital out on the live to connect my speakers (SPDIFF). However, I can't find a setting in the ATI DVD player to let my SBL send the AC-3 audio of DVDs straight to my speakers. In this setup the ATI player send audio in Pro Logic mode and doesn't let my live send AC-3 out. I really want dolby digital, so... I can get the AIW to output AC-3 via its output on the back of the card, but that makes me switch my speaker hook up whenever I play DVDs. Anyone know a better way?
 
You need to download a program called DVD Genie from http://www.inmatrix.com/. This program allows you to enable the Dolby Digital pass-through via your soundcard using the ATI DVD player. Just install the program, select the Cinemaster Tab, hit the more options button, check the box that says enable SPDIF out, and select your soundcard under the AC-3 SP/DIF output mode.
