Thank you for this - but can you please let me know the location of the relevant configuration file on my system so that I can amend its settings.
However, please note that in Ubuntu 12.04, 12.10 and 13.04 it WAS possible to output sound simultaneously from BOTH the HDMI and SP/DIF connections on the Dell Studio Hybrid - i.e. HDMI to TV for audio + video and SP/DIF to my A/V amplifier.
