No backend at all. I use mpd directly on type hw:

pcm.!default {
  type hw
  card 0
  device 3
}

The driver is build directly into my monolithic kernel (I don't have
modules enabled at all).
At boot time I run "alsactl restore" in an init script.
alsamixer shows that S/PDIF is unmuted, but as I wrote it doesn't work
for several minutes. If I toggle the S/PDIF setting in alsamixer from
unmuted to muted to unmuted then sounds starts working.

Anyway:
 /usr/bin/hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x15 SET_DIGI_CONVERT_1 0x01 &> /dev/null
works fine in my init script, so the issue is solved for me.

Thanks.
