alsa and s/pdif or IEC958 config?

[pascal]

Is there anyone who has configured alsa successfully to play any file
threw s/pdif, IEC958?

Mplayer and totem play AC3 coded files threw the s/pdif channel. But
when it's not AC3, they won't.
XMMS doesn't want to play on the IEC958 channel even if I tell it
explicit to, by selecting the IEC958 device in the alsadriver options
dialog. 
When I fresh installed ubuntu, XMMS was able to play MP3 files over the
S/PDIF channel, and I can't figure out what changed.



Pascal.
