I don't think that's possible, at least I couldn't get that to work.  I did 
get sound to come out of both TV (analog) and stereo (digital), but the sound 
out of the TV was just noise.  Loud, speaker-blowing white noise.  I inferred 
that it was passing the AC3 signal to the TV in digital form (I did select 
pass-through, after all).  So I selected digital output only for 
pass-through, and the TV keeps quiet.  Unfortunately, this throws off the 
family when they have the stereo off and wonder why they're not getting sound.

Anyway, I'm attaching my .asoundrc file.  Works for me (Mythbuntu 8.04).
