could you tell me which ac97 codec chip is used?
the spdif signal should be routed via slot 10/11 when the device 0,0,3
is used as originally designed.  with your patch, the signal seems
routed via the front slots 3/4 (or 6/9, 7/8).  the slots usage is
dependent on the ac97 codec, and i thought the set up of ALC650 was
fixed recently.

/proc/asound/card0/ac97#0 and ac97#0regs will be helpful for
debugging.


thanks,

Takashi
