In my case, 
alsamixer shows Intel 82801DB-ICH4 uses Analog Devices AD1981B as AC'97 Codec.
Chip spec may serve as a reference.
http://www.analog.com/en/prod/0,2877,AD1981B,00.html
It uses two ADC circits , which can be shown as ADC and ADC2 in the 
'/proc/asound/pcm'
And have one SPDIF port.

What is the port of SPDIF connected to in your board of PC ?
