As a note, one still needs to:

1. Enable the IEC958 switch in the volume control (double click the volume panel icon to get there - and select Settings and check the IEC958 option if you don't have the switch visible from the start)
2. Select "HDA Intel STAC92xx Digital" as the option for Multimedia in the sound settings option

... in order to actually get sound from movies etc to go through the cable.

Worked wonders for me on Intrepid.
