Phill, Are the recordings using 44kHz audio? If so I think you'll need to do some ALSA configuring and use the plug plugin to resample the audio to 48kHz which the SPDIF wants. There's Michael Dean's excellent article here which explains what's needed: http://mythtv.info/moin.cgi/DigitalSoundHowTo I've followed this article to understand it and have got my audio working well now through my SPDIF playing all audio I throw at it. The article gives you 4 possible output devices which is great - I use the mixed-digital device with no problems.
