Unfortunately it's not working with ALSA either anymore. Strange! Leads me
to believe that there might be a hardware problem with the board. I can't
even get a digital sync signal out of the SPDIF anymore.

However, I used to have it working with ALSA and PD. Without changing
anything but ALSA to OSS (within PD) the digital out stopped working with
OSS and started working again when I set it back to ALSA.

Anyway, I'll have to figure out my hardware problem first before I can keep
investigating. Thanks anyway, Andreas! I'll get back when it starts working
again at all.
