Here's what I did.
On the Alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/DigitalOut, it gave me this command:
cat /proc/asound/devices
...which showed my device (one of them) as:
17: [ 0- 1]: digital audio playback
So, when specifying your device, it would be hw:0,1 or hw:0.1.
For instance, in mplayer, to specify your digital device for playback
in mplayer,
do:
mplayer -ao alsa:device=hw=0.1 <name of your song>
I hope this helps anyone else with this situation.
So, just for the record (and google), S/PDIF for the Asus P7P55D
Motherboard on
a Linux From Scratch system works.
