The patch below should fix the missing -H option.
With the option -R, ac3dec itself decodes the AC3 stream, and send
it as PCM. To make your receiver decoding AC3, -C/-P is needed.
Can you show alsa-info.sh output (with --no-upload option)?
If you have two "IEC958 Playback Default" controls with index 0 and 1,
the latter is likely the one for HDMI.
Try to adjust it manually via iecset program in alsa-utils
% iecset -c0 -n1 pro off audio off
then run ac3dec
% ac3dec -H -C foo.ac3
