Summary:                    With Terratec DMX6fire, digital inputs cannot be
selected correctly -always internal digital source
Description: 
The DMX6fire sound card has onboard 'digital in' for direct connection from
a CD drive as well as coax and optical front panel in and out. 
Envy24control has no button to select the internal source, but in fact it
seems always selected and works fine.  Consequently the front panel inputs
never work,(I can only test optical, but internal source is always
working) although the selector 'SPDIF input' changes the panel lights
correctly, and the 'SPDIF on/off' swaps the lights whichever way they
were.

Thanks, alsamixer does enable SPDIFs to be selected as a workaround. 
However the switch "Front Digital Input" is reversed -ie "off" enables
front panel sources, "on" activates the internal SPDIF.

Following this I perused the source code of envy24control where the switch
actions are used to change variables and noticed an error in hardware.c. 
After a quick edit and recompile the SPDIF on/off switch functioned just
as the alsamixer one does -also reversed.  Subsequently I swapped the
logic and changed a couple of the titles to make more sense.  So the SPDIF
selection problem is a simple 'bug' in e24c hardware.c.
