What did you try exactly?

I thought that -mm contained the latest ALSA tree, so I build on of those and booted it with aclink_spdif=1 and aclink_spdif=0. With both of them the audio out on the docking station does not work (although I am not sure that it is a SPDIF output).

If it's ICH4 or newer, it has a separate SPDIF output slot in the contoller side. Thus, when aclink_spdif = 0 (or not given), the dedicated DMA has to be used to send to AC-link slot 10/11.

Thanks, using the spdif PCM as output device worked, is there any way that it could be enabled by a module paraemter (setting spdif_aclink does not do that for me nor am I sure if it should).

Thanks, Andreas
