I finally managed to resolve this using the following method :
- sudo apt-get --purge remove alsa-base alsa-utils linux-sound-base (also 
removes gdm ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-minimal ubuntu-mythtv-frontend)
- locate and delete files/folders with asound or alsa 
- sudo apt-get clean
- reboot
- sudo apt-get install alsa-base alsa-utils linux-sound-base (gdm 
ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-minimal ubuntu-mythtv-frontend)
- sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
- go to synaptic, search for alsa, mark all alsa related installed packages for 
reinstallation
- reboot and spdif out is working again
