I set IEC958 P to 0 and analog, and flew off my chair... I HAVE sound! I 
shouldn't have kept my volume maxed out, but I was very happy to hear 
music. Those funny mixer values worked; that's something that needs to 
be added to the wiki, or something. I'm going to CC this over to Sam, 
maybe it will help him out as well.

Big Thanks,
