You should be able to get signal when you enable spdif out and spdif dac 
to spdif options in alsamixer. However with my card the sound is totally 
distorted. Unuseable.

So I use the driver delivered with kernel 2.4.17. This driver has 
correct spdif output, enabled automatically when 44.1 of 48 KHz sampling 
rate audio is played.

I'd like to see the Alsa driver working as well. Maybe when it is in the 
2.5 kernel line, that it will be fixed...
