Sorry for lack of info (I was testing this at 1am).
So far I've tested alsa-tools-1.0.13 to 1.0.16 and
all those exhibit this behaviour. I'm using 1.0.13
on my production system, but I hadn't noticed it because
I don't usually use envy24control to change sample rates.
It was brought to my attention by several users who have emailed
me about it. 

It's quite an awkward problem because once the
clock source gets set to S/PDIF it can no longer be reset to
internal clock without using alsactl or re-initialising the card(s)
by cold rebooting with alsa init.d scripts disabled.

The problem obviously appeared before 1.0.13. It might
be a few days before I get time to test earlier versions,
but I'll try to find the last working version.
