My guess at the fix:

ALSA: hda - Fix wrong SPDIF NID assignment for CA0110

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound-2.6.git;a=commit;h=24b55c69b66eb2a122842820ec14ab215fc8572f

(the base64 encoding of your alsa-info attachment didn't come through in
a friendly way so I didn't bother decoding it, and hence this is just a
guess)
