Hello again,
so I checked the MacBook schematics and it looks like the optical input should be directly connected to pin 47 (GPIO3/SPDIFIN)
Maybe EAPD get’s accidentally / wrongly enabled? - Maybe someone can point me how to double check this in ALSA?
For the record - I try to record:
# arecord -D iec958 -f dat -c 2 > rec.wav
Recording WAVE 'stdin' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Stereo
but only get zeros:
# hexdump rec.wav

As far as I can see the right sub-device is running:
