Ok, here's the current state of affairs... both the compilation and driver seem to work well now, though I haven't tested SPDIF yet. I don't know why both John Stile and I were getting ioctl errors, perhaps if it is still happening to him he can elucidate, but it isn't happening to me any more with the latest build.
I obtained and built a clean mercurial clone this morning (07 Jan 08):
%> cd /usr/src %> rm -rf alsa-driver %> hg clone http://hg-mirror.alsa-project.org/alsa-driver alsa-driver %> cd alsa-driver %> hg clone http://hg-mirror.alsa-project.org/alsa-kernel alsa-kernel %> hgcompile
[...] compilation proceeds cleanly...
%> make install
%> alsaconf [...] select card and configure it via alsamixer
Lo and belold, it all worked! I have a clean compilation and good response from aplay and other user space tools.
I haven't applied any patches, and I haven't been able to test SPDIF input yet but I'm betting John Stile should be able to report that faster than I can get to it...
Thank you very much for your help with this and for all of the work you and the ALSA team do!

I'd like to get this card's spdif working. What else can I do to help? Although the driver loads, the user space tools can't use the card any more. Thank you.
Should I assume at this point no more work will be done on the snd-hda-intel driver to fixing SPDIF-in for the vt1708 sound card? Thank you for all your work so far.
I think it is a bit early to make that assumption. There isn't a lot of demand for this particular card, but it doesn't seem that it will take too much work to get it going again... after all, it did basically work before the last patch, and I am hoping that Takashi will find some time soon to address the issues.
Hm, I see no obvious error in the patch. Are you sure that the latest HG driver works properly if you don't apply the patch?
Let's begin with that.
