2.6.12: no sound on SPDIF with emu10k1

Hi!

I cannot get my SB Live! 5.1's SPDIF (digital) output to work with
kernel > 2.6.12. I have not changed my mixer configuration and it is
still working when I boot 2.6.11.12 or earlier. I am using FC4 with
alsa-lib-1.0.9rf-2.FC4 installed.

FC4 shipped a buggy ALSA version, I can't believe there are no updated
RPMs yet.

You need a newer ALSA.

alsa-lib-1.0.9rf-2 is the latest update available:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/4/x86_64/alsa-lib-1.0.9rf-2.FC4.x86_64.rpm

If FC4's ALSA was really broken, I wonder why it is working fine with
kernel 2.6.11.12 and earlier?

You have to update all alsa packages, not just alsa-lib.

If upgrading other ALSA packages does not work, see if it works with
ALSA CVS (alsa-lib, alsa-utilsm, and alsa-kernel).

Also, even though you said you did not change it, check your mixer
configuration again - there was a change to that driver that could have
caused some users to lose mixer settings (newer versions of alsactl work
around it).

The recent emu10k1 driver detects the board model more precisely, but
a couple of minor models were missing in the table, and consequently,
some functionalities were missing.

Many thanks, that did the trick! I have now tried to only load the
emu10k1 driver modules and found that 2.6.12's ALSA is VERY different
from all previous versions in that it does not mute all channels by
default any more.
