I tried completely removing/re-installing all alsa packages in Synaptic 
and that had no effect.

modprobe -r snd-FOO doesn't work for any of the snd modules -- they all 
seem to be interdependent and all say "FATAL: module snd-FOO is in use"

Doing modprobe snd-ice1712 model=audiophile seemed to work, but it had 
no effect.

I tried running the SPDIF out into an M-Audio Fast Track Pro into which 
I plugged headphones. I assume this should have allowed me to hear the 
output of the soundcard (again, no SPDIF indicator light on the Fast 
Track) but there was nothing -- this would seem to support your idea 
that there's a software problem with the SPDIF output from the Audiophile.

What else can I try?

Many thanks
