I was using an old SoundBlaster Live! card, and everything worked fine. I just exchanged that card for a M-AUDIO Delta 410. Configure ALSA to drive it, and tested with aplay and mplayer. Everything worked beautifully.
Then I tried Myth. Myth seems to "open" the sound card just fine. It even seems to write to it just fine:

I know the S/PDIF port is working because I can use mplayer to play both files which just have a mp2 audio track, and files which have DD2.0 audio tracks. I can use aplay to play wav files. Everything works except Myth.
I have AC3 passthrough turned on, and currently have ALSA:iec958 in the driver box. I have also tried ALSA:default, and I have even tried ALSA:cards.pcm.iec958. Myth does not complain about any of those setting, it just doesn't work.
Have you tried the ALSA:hw:c,d format? Where c is the card number (usually 0), and d is the device. It has been a while since I looked at devices, but I think nforce and intel are 2 and emu10k1 is 4 (or was it 0?). What is the output of 'cat /proc/asound/devices' ? Perhaps compare which device number the two cards are using for digital playback (unfortunately they usually list more than one).
You can also use ALSA:plughw:c,d if you sample rates don't match.
