There is already a /usr/share/alsa/cards/EM8300.conf with EM8300.pcm.iec958.0 {...} (http://pastebin.ca/raw/891351) from Ville Skyttä but I don't know how to use it. Neither how to create a PCM configuration for the iec958 plugin. I guess I'll wait for some dxr3 devs to join the party :-)

Thanks for your help.
