Sorry I can't help you with your ALSA config.  I've been stuck for 
months now trying to enable SPDIF-out on my own laptop. However:
I notice from your first post on this topic that you're trying to play 
audio CDs with kscd.  You've already stated that music already ripped 
from CD plays just fine.
Have you tried enabling Configure kscd -> CD Player -> CD-ROM Device: 
Use direct digital playback ?
This option tells kscd to rip the CD on-the-fly and playback using the 
standard PCM output on the sound card, rather than relying on the CD 
audio lead and mixer settings which seem to be causing you so much trouble.


Cheers,
  Steve.
