Not really. I use gnome-alsamixer, and there is a mixer element called "SPDIF-i" that has a slider, a "Mute" switch, and a "Capture" switch. I connect a digital source to the SPDIF input on the card, and then I try to record it with arecord from device hw:0,0. The only way I'm able to record sound is by setting the Mute switch (of the SPDIF-i mixer element) to off and the Capture switch to on.
