Wonderful job in writing a definative .asoundrc.  I've followed your 
.asoundrc setup.  But I'm still not able to get any sound out of my 
SPDIF in mythtv except with *aplay /usr/share/sounds/KDE_Startup.wav*

I've changed the above  to something like this:
------------------ <snip>----------------------
pcm.!default {
  type plug
## Uncomment the following to use mixed analog by default
#  slave.pcm "dmix-analog"
## Uncomment the following to use unmixed digital by default
  slave.pcm "digital-hw"
## Uncomment the following to use mixed digital by default
#  slave.pcm "dmix-digital"
}
------------------ <snip>----------------------

I've even changed the "Audio outout device" in mythtv to "ALSA:digital" 
but without any success.  Anything else that I need to do?

Thanks
