Found the thread, here's the quote:

To answer myself my own question: yes, it is possible. The
following .asoundrc (have spent whole evening on figuring it out :-)
does exactly what I always wanted:
=========
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave {
pcm "spdif"
rate 48000
format S16_LE
}
}
=========
BTW, the "format" line might not even be necessary. The key is the "rate
48000" (converts 32 and 44 kHz to SPDIF's 48 kHz) and pcm
"spdif" (routes sound via the digital out). With this and "ALSA:default"
set up everywhere (both TV and Music) everything plays correctly via the
digital out, including real digital AC3 5.1 passthrough sound from HD
channels. I am excited!

If I had found it on gossamer I'd link you to it, but I found it in my
email archives, so it won't do you much good ;)
