Try: cat /location/of/your/alsa.conf | grep spdif Mine says that... pcm.spdif cards.pcm.iec958 ...is available, so to use aplay as an example, this would mean something like these: aplay -D spdif mysound.wav aplay -Dplug:spdif mysound.wav Frankly, I'm not sure which one is right or how ecasound does this. The ecasound docs and examples are a great place to start. There is also someone who has apparenetly dealt wtih your exact problem (OK, slightly different card) right here: http://opensrc.org/alsa/index.php?page=1712+.asoundrc And at the bottom I have posted my own /etc/asound.conf for my Delta 1010. Channels are accessed for recording or playback by their pcm name (Ex. arecord -D ice1712_spdif myfile.wav) once they are set up. I hope this helps.
