No HDMI audio with Nvidia 8200 (Realtek ALC1200) on Acer X1200

Trying to get HDMI audio working an Acer X1200 with Nvidia 8200
(driver level 177) and Realtek ALC1200.  I've rebuilt and installed
the 1.0.18a drivers and the 1.0.18 libs, utils, tools, and plugins
from debian experimental.  After the upgrade I see the following
devices with aplay -l:

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 0: ALC888 Analog [ALC888 Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 1: ALC888 Digital [ALC888 Digital]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

I looked at /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 and saw that there is a section
in there which identifies the digital out of Node 0x11 (17) to be an
internal HDMI connection:

Node 0x11 [Pin Complex] wcaps 0x400780: Mono Digital
Pincap 0x00000014: OUT Detect
Pin Default 0x18566140: [Jack] Digital Out at Int HDMI
Conn = Digital, Color = Orange
DefAssociation = 0x4, Sequence = 0x0
Misc = NO_PRESENCE
Pin-ctls: 0x40: OUT
Unsolicited: tag=00, enabled=0
Power: setting=D0, actual=D0
Connection: 1
0x10


Mapping this to the output of /proc/asound/devices:

0: [ 0] : control
1: : sequencer
4: [ 0- 0]: hardware dependent
16: [ 0- 0]: digital audio playback
17: [ 0- 1]: digital audio playback
24: [ 0- 0]: digital audio capture
26: [ 0- 2]: digital audio capture
33: : timer

Says to me that Node 17, device 0,1, is the HDMI output. Is that correct?

I've ensured that in my mixer IEC958 is not muted (set to 00) and
IEC958 Default PCM is not muted (set to 00). Using mplayer with "-ao
alsa:device=plughw=0.1" or "alsa:device=hw=0.1" doesn't output any
sound to my receiver, and using the similar options in MythTV results
in the same problem.

I've confirmed that this does work with Windows Vista. I'm using
version 177 of the nvidia driver. I haven't see any kind of
configuration specific for the nvidia driver - does anyone know if
there is something we need to do there? (modinfo nvidia doesn't list
any obvious parameters).
