Any chance you have the an onboard spdif with ac3 passthrough working
with ALSA?  I've got an AMD64 nforce3 motherboard and while I can route
PCM audio out through the spdif, ac3 audio clicks my receiver into Dolby
Digital mode but yields no audio.  I've tried nvsound successfully, but
it gives audio lag in myth, mplayer, and xine. ;(
