EAC3 is one the most popular codecs for audio used nowadays, even been used as a base in the latest versions of object-based codecs. However, backwards compatibility is important, not everyone can be on the edge of technology or just feels comfortable with what they have. This project aims to achieve an automatic re encode from EAC3 to AC3, whenever a S/PDIF connection is been use, taking in consideration that the EAC3 codec was develop on top of the AC3 codec, so in best case scenario only a partial decode/encode would be required.
