At last I have got this fixed thanks to a very helpful guy on the
Alsa-users list called Peter Zubaj. This is his response:
=========
"IEC958 Optical Raw Playback Switch" - it is used for AC3 pasthrough
should be muted - for oss emulation, midi playback, wave playback, ..
alias normal ussage
should be unmuted - for spdif blayback (Raw passthrough of AC3
stream through spdif, unaltered spdif playback) using spdif device.
"IEC958 Optical Raw Playback Switch" should be muted in your case,
please mute it.
=======
After I muted it, OSS emulation is fine, yay. When you use the spdif
interface directly, apparently it sets the levels automatically so you
don't need to worry about unmuting for mplayer/xine/ogle native alsa
spdif usage.
Hope that helps someone else too.

I still have not been able to get spdif working with Myth on my new
frontend. I can get it to work with mplayer using the alsa1x:spdif
option. I am using the intel8x0 chip. What device do I use to get oss
emulation access? I have tried /dev/adsp0 but it says No Such Device.
Why won't myth work with spdif if mplayer will? I tried the ALSA:spdif
option as the device but get a floating point exception. <br>
