You are right. That seems to work best (for output, that is).
Although mplayer does not accept it (plain 'default' still works though).
Other programs will accept a card number, not a name (mhwaveedit).
MPD, fortunately, works like a charm with this syntax. Even mixing works (I have never before been able to get that right).

I use .asoundrc for spdif-out:
pcm.TP22spdif {
type plug
slave.pcm "hw:0,1"
}
Without it (plughw:0,1) the signal is ok, but 'cannot be copied'.

For recording spdif-in I still use 'plughw:0,1'. Perhaps it is the only way, I don't know.

Advice is most welcome.

Thanks again,
