I got this up and running on my main system this weekend, I set spdif to 59 and was shocked, it was so harsh, and the bass seemed to almost disappear. I thought I had broken the DAC.
Then I set it back down to 44 and the bass was back and the harshness went away. I was not prepared for the amount of change this caused. 44 is an interesting number because the jive-alsa thread has a default priority of 45. So by setting spdif to 45 or above you are now putting it at a higher priority than the jive_alsa thread, which is what actually might be causing the sound changes. It might be an interesting test to try running jive_alsa at a higher priority (say 55) and then try running s/pdif in the 50 to 60 range.
