What happens now if I do
aplay -D spdif something.wav

Instead some nonsense happens.
It will try to play to the spdif interface on card 0 (the onboard one)
which will fail.
aplay -D spdif:1 something.wav should DTRT.
I realize this is not the most user friendly scheme (but it's certainly
a step forward from "/dev/dspX") - please describe in detail what you
think a user friendly interface would look like.
