Hi folks (apologies if this appears more than once)
I'm trying to get good quality sound from the Via EPIA motherboards.
The analog output is OK with the 0.9rc2 driver, but I can't see how to
enable the SPDIF output.

alsamixer shows a control for IEC958 (mute/unmute?) and a 4 step control
for IEC958 Playback AC97-SPSA
I've tried lots have things and searched the archives but now I'm
looking for more ideas.
Thanks in advance
John
