I'm not sure specifically for the EPIA, but for my Yamaha based card, I had
to add a line to the .asoundrc for mythtv in the home directory like this:
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
device 1
}
For my device, that meant send pcm audio to the spdif device. If I do an
"aplay -l" to list devices, I get:
card 0: YMF744 [Yamaha DS-XG PCI (YMF744)], device 1: YMFPCI - IEC958
[YMFPCI - IEC958]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
Which shows that card 0, device 1 is the IEC958 (or SPDIF) port. Try that
for yours and see if it works.
