 I'm a bit confused with what you are trying to do.  SPDIF and iec958 are
one in the same (iec-958 is the specification number for the Sony/Philips
Digital Interface - SPDIF).  The SPDIF data can be transmitted either over
an analog RCA jack or optically.  Is this what you are trying to
differentiate when you say "both analog SPDIF and IEC958", or are you
actually trying to use the analog outputs (not SPDIF at all).

Please tell us how you have things connected in your setup (i.e. directly to
your TV, through a receiver, etc.)

I personally only use SPDIF (optical) through my Yamaha Receiver- it works
for all.
