Seems to work well.  The relevant mixer settings are PCM1 and Surround1
(both of which must be turned up and unmuted.  However it doesn't seem
to deal well with odd rates:

(0)<mcelrath@draal:/home/mcelrath> aplay -Dhw:0,1 /usr/share/sounds/zipper.wav 
Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/zipper.wav' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 11025 Hz, Mono
aplay: pcm_write:968: write error: Input/output error

Unfortunately I don't have any hardware which can deal with SPDIF
(except my Marvel TV card which only has an output).
