And yet the SPDIF in works fine in spite of the input error message,
it's just the SPDIF out that doesn't work.

I don't know if it counts for anything, but the card shows up correctly
as M-Audio Audiophile 24/96 in Qjackctl.
When I tried modprobe -r it said "FATAL: Module snd_ice1712 is in use"
but adding with the model type worked fine. I didn't have Mudita running
whilst doing either of these.
I found the alsa-base.conf file, but I wouldn't know what to start
fiddling with. There's no mention in there of snd_ice1712 though, dunno
whether that's indicative of anything.
Many thanks
