As far as I can see, there are no routing possibilities for input S/PDIF
on an m-audio 2496 using the envy24control. For output, you can route any 
channel to s/pdif in hardware using that program.

So what you have to do, is to use channel 9 and 10 instead, which I guess 
is hardwired to s/pdif in. (Maybe you could also mess around with 
.asoundrc, a third option is to hack the snd-ice1712 driver)
