Phiree U2 has an unusual configuration. It only has S/PDIF output, but there are still two devices presented:
- device 0: PCM audio, subject to volume control
- device 1: non-PCM data (passthrough), not subject to volume control
It looks like the AES bits are set according to the selected device, since outputting PCM data via device 1 will not work (silence).
Currently only the device 0 is shown via the "iec958" alias, and the second device is not accessible via hinted aliases.
Simply provide access to both of these devices via the "iec958" alias.

This isn't really the optimal solution, but is probably one of the simplest (except maybe just using device 1 as the only iec958 device).
I guess the kernel driver (or even config rules with sufficient @func support) could select the appropriate device according to AES0, but not sure if that is worth the effort?
Also, I'm not 100% sure if this is actually uncommon or if we just hide it in on other such devices.
This looks simple enough as a workaround, so I just took it as is. Maybe Clemens or else has a better way to work around it, though.
thanks,
Takashi
