I just worked through the same problem yesterday. There is of course
the audio input option in the capture card configuration that needs to
be set to SPDIF. But my problem ended up being the firmware (I think).
I had installed the production firmware under windows, and the UNIX
driver was reporting that(rev 0xf), but it still wasn't working. I
ended up having to reinstall that firmware and then I tested that it was
able to capture AC3 under windows. Then when I plugged it into UNIX it
just worked.
