I think it has something to do with the routing of the pcm channels. When using the pass-through, the pcm signal is cut off and the digital out is used for AC3. When the AC3 stream is finished, the route for the pcm-sound to the digital out should be restored.
When its not (like in my case) I can hear pcm sound through the analog channels, but not the digital one. In my current situation I can only play pcm-sound through the analog out and only AC3 through my digital out.

It looks like we have almost the same card by the way :)
lspci | grep audio

It would really like to have pcm sound through my digital out again because I only have a digital amplifier.

Here is more info about the routing:

maybe adding
options snd-emu10k1 extin="0x3fff" extout="0x7fff"
to /etc/modules.conf will work...
