I first verified that mpg321 would happily play back to the on-board analog output and the told it to play back via the IEC958 interface, hw:0,2. That didn't work, but I also say that the optical output was not lit. I then used the text-mode alsamixer to enable the S/PDIF output which made the output light up. Am now playing back via the DAT deck. What would be the recommended application to control the ALSA mixer on a KDE Plasma 5 desktop? Neither kmix nor plasma-pa seem to offer all controls that the ALSA mixer provides.
