Well, when I first installed my distro, I managed to get the spdif to output 2 channels. I could only get two channels, unless i sent a raw DTS or AC3 stream for decoding on the receiver end.

SPDIF supports only compressed 5.1 channels. It's no bug.

Now, on after I reinstalled (changed from raid0 to raid5), I cannot get any audio whatsoever (even via analog outs).

Did you check the mixer setup properly? I guess it's rather a setup issue.

So there are really two separate issues now.

1. Getting audio to work.
2. Getting 6+ Channel audio via spdif.

Should I try applying these patches or should I try compiling ALSA by hand instead of using the distro supplied package?

If the same package and the same version worked, no reason to patch.

HTH,
