hi list!
i got a little problem with my nforce onboard sound. i got everything to work
(basically) but i cant control the secondary device with alsa mixer (meaning
no volume control at all).
my devices:
 aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: nForce2 [NVidia nForce2], device 0: Intel ICH [NVidia nForce2]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: nForce2 [NVidia nForce2], device 2: Intel ICH - IEC958 [NVidia nForce2
- IEC958]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

cat /proc/asound/devices
  1:       : sequencer
  0: [0- 0]: ctl
 18: [0- 2]: digital audio playback
 25: [0- 1]: digital audio capture
 16: [0- 0]: digital audio playback
 24: [0- 0]: digital audio capture
 33:       : timer


everything works fine using analog out, but not with spdif. if i switch to
secondary playback device i cant use alsamixer anymore, no mather how i
switch, i tried the .asoundrc from the alsa howto page (using dmix plugin)
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=Nvidia&card=nForce&chip=NM2360&module=intel8x0
, also tried pcm.default.device 2, both route all output to spdif, but the
mixer keeps controlling the analog device. i even got OSS-emulation working by
mapping device 2 to adsp and linking dsp to adsp (this works for xmms with
oss-plugin and esound) but still no go with the mixer.

anyone knows if its possible to control the secondary playback device using
alsa mixer ? (there's some nice IEC958 checkbox in gnome-alsamixer that does
nothing!?) i read the plugin howto also and played around with copy dmix and
some others, but still mixer refuses to work with spdif

any help is appreciated
