The default mapping of OSS devices to ALSA devices is as follows:
/dev/dsp0 -> hw:0,0 (first device on first card)
/dev/adsp0 -> hw:0,1 (second device on first card)
/dev/dsp1 -> hw:1,0 (first device on second card)
/dev/adsp1 -> hw:1,1 (second device on second card)
...
(Often, /dev/dsp instead of /dev/dsp0 is used.)
You can tell the OSS application to use /dev/adsp0 if the SPDIF output
is the second device (this should be the case with the Revo7.1).
If your application doesn't allow changing the device, or if you want
to change the default for all applications, or if you want to map to
a hw:X,2 device, you can change the mapping with the dsp_map and
adsp_map options of the snd-pcm-oss module. These options specify, for
each card, which subdevice (the number after the comma) to use. The
default settings are "dsp_map=0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0" and
"adsp_map=1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1", where each number is for one sound card.
For example, to map /dev/dsp to hw:0,1, add the line
options snd-pcm-oss dsp_map=2
to /etc/modprobe.conf (or whatever file contains ALSA module options).
