Dude getting SPDIF (and also the ATI drivers) to work has always been a nightmare in Linux for me. How easy is it to get SPDIF out working on an Audigy 2? I'm sure it can't be as straighforward as just increasing the volume on the SPDIF line?

Also oddly (although it's no bid deal), I appear to have SPDIF out sound working on alsamixer through a channel titled 'Wave out'. Why wave out and not PCM, or 'Digital', or something else?

The only big problem I can see with the sound ATM is that I can't change the master volume control in the task bar for another mixer control that I choose, which (since it works as a master volume control) in my case would be this 'wave out' channel.

It would be cool to be able to select your own individual taskbar mixer control.
