OK, I just installed the lastest CVS snapshot and also copied
VIA686A.conf to /usr/share/alsa/cards.

Using aplay I'm getting some spdif output. It's very jerky, though.
There is audio for a few 100ms and then silence, and then signal again.
Same effect using an OSS player.  The analog output works fine - no 
interruptions at all.

The sample rate as either 44.1kHz or 48kHz - same problem.

I just got a EPIA-M1000 board. It has a 8235 and spdif works just fine
here using either aplay or an OSS player.

Any further info I can provide to help tracking down the problem ?

Cheers,

Mathias
