I also tried this but didn't notice a difference but however I noticed a workaround to this problem that might be related to deleting the asound.state (debian places it btw to /var/lib/alsa/asound.state): now the regular audio works via SPDIF once again if I first play a file with digital preencoded audio. Ie: -Boot with 2.6.36-rc5 -Start kaffeine -Play mp3 file -> no sound at all via spdif -Play mkv file with 5.1 sound -> sound ok -Play mp3 file again -> sound ok! -Exit kaffeine & restart kaffeine or vlc -Play mp3 file again -> sound ok! Unfortunately the fix isn't permanent because after reboot I cannot get regular sound via spdif until I have once played a file with 5.1 audio track.
