will your fix change the spdif of  those motherboard with ad1988b which
have iec958 but no hdmi jack ?

the current implementation does not expose the number of output streams
supported by the hda controller

ich8 seem support 4 ouput streams , how many output streams supported by
the nvidia controller

it seem that there is no presence detect on this codec
