S/PDIF broken on Delta 1010LT (ice1712)

[Doug McLain <nostar@comcast.net>]

S/PDIF appears to be broken in the ice1712 driver on recent versions of 
alsa.  I used to use it fine on 2.4 kernels (alsa 1.0 - 1.0.3), then I 
quit using it for a while.  Now on 2.6 / 1.0.7 (cvs) I can't get S/PDIF 
to work. I get silence untill I start screwing with Master Clock 
settings in envy24control, then I get loud white noise.  I was able to 
get correct sound once, by doing the following:

Revert from 1.0.7(cvs) to 1.0.4 (driver, lib, and envy24control).  I 
load the driver, then I start jack, then I play a file via xmms (using 
xmms-jack of course), then run envy24control, and click 'Word Clock' as 
Master Clock.  If I do this in exactly this order I get sound.  If I 
click any other Clock setting I get white noise that cant be reversed 
untill I unload the driver.

I went back to 1.0.7 (cvs) to do the same thing, but when I click Word 
Clock it doesnt stay, it immediately jumps back to its original state 
(usually Internal 48000).  I can hear the audio for a split second 
everytime I click Word Clock.
