Well waited for a long time for you guys to fix the problem most people with SPDIF are having with XBMC.
I have my computer with Ubuntu connected to my stereo with a a Optical SPDIF, ever since Pulse audio got intruduced to Ubuntu SPDIF has kinda been broken, but most programs like VLC and SMplayer has managed to go around it, SMplayer uses ALSA instead which works fine, easy to set up.
But XBMC still has no easy overide to ALSA, only way is to set the sound card to analog in sound settings in Ubuntu to get any sound in XBMC. But in doing that Ubuntu mutes the sound every time I reboot and I have to unmute all channels every time its really anoying, not to mention not getting any sound from browser and other things that has to use Pulse audio.
Please make it easy to force Alsa in XBMC to.
