It's no direct answer to your question, but:
Isn't the SPDIF device sent from the same codec as the analog, or it's
over a different codec? In the former case, turning on "IEC958
Default PCM Playback Switch" mixer will send the stream both to analog
and SPDIF outs. (When an SPDIF device was opened beforehand, this
will keep the device thus the multiplex won't happen, though.)
