it took me hours of googling, and i finally found this. i don't know if
it's the only or the best method, or if it'll work for you, but it did
for me.

1) i put this on my .asoundrc:

pcm.ice_spdif 
{ 
        type plug 
        ttable.0.8 1 
	ttable.1.9 1 
        slave.pcm { 
		type hw 
		card 0 
		device 0 
               } 
} 

2)

then try

ecasound -i alsa,ice_spdif -o alsa,plughw:0 

to monitor your spdif inputs from the analog outputs, or

ecasound -i alsa,ice_spdif -o test.wav

to record to a file

3)
remember to set the clock input to spdif from envy24control
->Hardware settings->Master clock->S/PDIF In
