Public bug reported: I have a dell xps m1710 laptop, which has the ability to output digital coax spdif through either the extra pin on the s-video or the dell d-docking station spdif connection. This works in windows, so it's not a problem with the docking. With the intel-hda driver, the spdif output does not work. There is an iec958 switch in the mixer, but this seems to toggle the docking station's headphone jack on and off, instead of enabling/disabling the spdif output as one would expect. When using the docking headphone jack, the laptop speakers are not turned off, and the volume cannot be changed (fixed volume). The headphone jack on the laptop does turn of the laptopspeakers when used, and reacts to the normal volume controls.
This is on a feisty beta which has been upgraded from edgy (where the docking headphone didn't work at all).
