I tried using the snapshot because I was having the same problem as Peter was. No spdif out on my vt1708s. Unfortunately for me my build didn't go quite as well, for some reason I had 2 undefined which make the snd.ko fail to load. Is there something that I'm missing? I am running slamd64 distro current, with the latest kernel along with the alsa kernel patch "2.6.29.4-rt15". Please help. Building modules, stage 2.
