I recently changed from Fedora 10 (i386)  to 12 (x86_64) and found the
following differences when using alsamixer:
* the items shown by alsamixer were slightly different  from fc10 to
fc12 even though the hardware is the same (Asrock ION). I think I
recall there was an item called IEC958 in fc10 that I had to unmute to
get HDMI to work. Now I have to unmute the item called "S/PDIF 1" for
HDMI to work
* any changes I made to alsamixer were lost after a reboot

So my questions are:
1) I thought HDMI and SPDIF were different technologies, why would an
item labelled "S/PDIF 1" affect HDMI output ?
2) I now have to run "alsactl store" to remember the settings made in
alsamixer. I didnt have to do this step with fc10, so is this a
deliberate change in Alsa functionality or is something not working
100% correctly in fc12 ?

If it is meaningful or helpful to someone, my  $HOME/.asoundrc looks like this

 pcm.!default {
  type plug
  slave.pcm "hdmi"
}

[myt...@asrock1 ~]$ yum list installed | grep alsa
alsa-lib.x86_64                    1.0.22-2.fc12                       installed
alsa-utils.x86_64                  1.0.22-1.fc12                       installed
