I have a A7N8X motherboard with NVidia nForce 2 chipset.  The sound
card is Realtek ALC650 rev 3.  It uses the snd_intel8x0 module.
cat /proc/asound/version tells me:
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.4rc2 (Tue Mar 30 08:19:30 2004 
UTC).
Compiled on Apr 18 2004 for kernel 2.6.5.

I have signal coming from S/PDIF input and I would like to pass that
to the S/PDIF output.  I've managed to get the incoming signal
directed to the analog output by unmuting the channels IEC958 Input
Monitor and Surround Down Mix with alsamixer, but I've found no way to
direct the signal to the S/PDIF in a similar manner.

I've managed to get this done by turning capture on on channel IEC958
and with commands:

arecord -d 10000000 -D hw:0,0 -c2 -r 44100 -f S16_LE | aplay -c2 -r 44100 -f S16_LE -D 
hw:0,2

But that introduces more latency as well as some buffer
over/underruns.  Maybe programs like gstreamer or jack could do better
than a simple pipe, but I'd still like to avoid them if possible.

Any suggestions on how to do this?
