HDMI-Output works on custom-compiled alsa 1.0.18a with aplay -D plug:hdmi test.ac3. But neither on Hardy, Intrepid nor Jaunty Alpha 3 there is light on the optical-out. As far as i can see, there was a BIOS update with broke it. With the original Bios i could select either HDMI or S/PDIF. this switch is gone after an update. And I could imagine that alsa relies on this Information to switch between HDMI and S/PDIF.

Any help to get S/PDIF working would be much appreacheated!
