I've seen this name on some other > cards with ALSA. This name is a bit difficult to define. Usually "Analog To IEC958 Output" is the mixer switch for the loopback from the analog inputs like mic-in or line-in. In your case, it's a switch that allows the signal duplication to SPDIF for the default PCM output. So actually my naming is also pretty confusing. How about "IEC958 Default PCM Playback Switch"? Then it's a bit clearer. On the mixer, it apperas in the playback view as "IEC958 Default PCM". If you turn it on, SPDIF plays with the default PCM.
