Thanks for that Nick,
Your solution would work with my dvb tuners, but unfortunately if I do that my rate conversion will no longer work and my analogue tuner will sound like mickey mouse.

I was having the same problem with my amp and dolby digital.  I  
solved it by removing my .asoundrc file and using ALSA:spdif as the  
output device.  Then go into KMix and mess with the settings until it  
works.  I discovered this through pure trial and error, but it now  
works properly and I don't mess with it.  Hope that helps.
