I'm not Darren, but I can't help but feel responsible for recommending the
Riviera. I currently don't have a .asoundrc at all, my myth (SVN trunk
14482) settings are:

Audio output device: ALSA:default
Passthrough output device: Default (not "default")
Enable AC3 to SPDIF passthrough: checked
Aggro sound buffering & use internal volume: not checked

In alsamixer all my "iec958" items are muted except for Output and 5V. My
"aplay -l" output is the same as yours, but I don't get a segfault with
"aplay -L" - I definitely would look into that. My ALSA version is
1.0.11rc2.
