This is not a fix all solution, but if you haven't you might want to try
ignoring the .asoundrc for now and just entering ALSA:iec958 (or ALSA:spdif
depending on your card) in myth as your passthrough device.  If things need
to be resampled this will not work, but in my case and at least for a few
other folks, this works for most things.
