Just to pipe in - we're two days from the end of this month's merge window, and coding furiously, so if the above don't get action in the next day or two you'll know why. Right now all priorities are on stuff affecting the widest base of users. Once the merge is in we have a lot of code prepped already for the first big update (next merge cycle) and will be looking at some of the smaller details like gui sounds and things affecting smaller user bases.

System: XBMC HTPC with HDMI WASAPI & AudioEngine - Denon AVR-3808CI - Denon DVD-5900 Universal Player - Denon DCM-27 CD-Changer
- Sony BDP-S580 Blu-Ray - X-Box 360 - Android tablet wireless remote - 7.1 Streem/Axiom/Velodyne Surround System
If I have been able to help feel free to add to my reputation +/- below - thanks!

@joethefox - Check if the card has the p16v device, if so its what I need. SSH in this case wont assist as I need to verify the device output.

@gfdsa - I know what your issue is and I have been searching for a solution, currently we are assuming devices with the string 'Digital' in them are IEC958, your device doesn't show that name, we need to find a reliable way of identifying IEC958 devices.

@gnif, just a side not and a suggestion maybe. Shouldn't HDMI outputs be treated differently from iec958? Afaik they are different as capabilities and the string "HDMI" seems to be a reliable way to detect them.

@gfdsa - We detect HDMI vs IEC958, the problem is your device doesnt report HDMI in its hardware name at all

I think I've got an unused Audigy2 laying around, which should have P16V. Will take a look this evening.

@gfdsa - I just pushed a possible fix in for your issue, can you please re-test and post your debug log.
@ScotchTape - That would be awesome

My -aplay lists all outputs as "HDMI", so that's not reliable.

@robo989, what does "aplay -L show"? not "aplay -l"

Yes, sorry, did mix the device and pcm names again.
