What happens now if I do
aplay -D spdif something.wav
? Most certainly not the soundcard with the S/PDIF output gets used.
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.
aplay -D spdif:1 -f cdr /tmp/mnt/wo1.dat

I think this is just a bug. Can you repost this report to alsa-user
