Interesting. Usually AC97-SPSA specifies the AC97 slot for SPDIF output. The full (= 3) means the slot 10/11, 0 means slot 3/4. IIUC, AC97-SPSA must be 3 for docking station output working?
If i remember correctly - but I was on holiday before the hardware stopped to work (it was either set to 0 or 3, but I think that it was 3).
If yes, try to set spdif_aclink=1 with the latest driver (HG version)...
do you mean alsa-driver or alsa-kernel? I'm somehow reluctant to replace my distribution's userspace utilities with self-compiled stuff (while i would happily build a custom kernel).
You need both trees to compile the driver.
BTW: a short link to a tutorial howto build hg kernels (or against what kernel release). I checked it out, copied over the sound/ directory and rebuild my 2.6.21-rc4 kernel.
Copying to Linus kernel may work in most cases but sometimes not since alsa-kernel repo is updated for mm tree.
The building HG driver is easy. Clone (both) repos, and run hgcompile script instead of configure. See alsa-driver/INSTALL.
