Hello,
I have a Gigabyte 890GX-based board with an ALC892 codec. The optical SPDIF output does not work at all (i.e. no red light on the cable), and the kernel prints "ALSA hda_codec.c:407: Too many connections" messages whenever sound is played (analog works, but I need digital).
Could you try the latest alsa-driver-snapshot? ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/snapshot/alsa-driver-snapshot.tar.gz
I fixed a few things regarding digital I/O handling of Realtek codecs now, and fixed the too-many-connections bug there, too.
I pulled from your tree: AC3/DTS passthrough works now, however "normal" audio only works with 48kHz rate.
Is there a way to insert an initial playback delay? Under linux, the first 2-2.5 seconds of anything played are just silence; on windows audible playback starts immediately.
It's the time for synchronization your digital receiver takes, I guess. Maybe changing SPDIF status makes it resync, which happens at each opening / closing the stream.
