Thanks for checkign this.  Now the thing gets a bit clearer.
The problem is explained like this: via "default" PCM, 32bit format is
chosen now because the analog audio-out widget supports.  But the
SPDIF out widget doesn't support that format.  Thus it's not played
properly.

If my guess is correct, you can propbably get SPDIF output via "spdif"
output.  What happens with the below?

	% aplay -Dplug:spdif foo.wav
