Which distro are you using ? Fedora outputs using ALSA via analog and
digital ports by default.

Although I have at the moment had an issue (on Fedora Core 6 and Fedora
10) where after playing AC3 through SPDIF, analog output over SPDIF stops
(but continues through the analog outputs). After some searching I found a
thread discussing a similar issue and after trying some of the suggested
resolutions I got audio running back through both SPDIF and analog outputs
(still fails again after playing AC3).
