with some digging around I found that this now works 
pcm.nforce-hw {
        type hw
        card 0
}
pcm.!default {
        type plug
        slave.pcm "nforce"
}
pcm.nforce {
        type dmix
        ipc_key 1234
        slave {
                pcm "hw:0,2"
                period_time 0
                period_size 1024
                buffer_size 32768
                rate 44100
        }
}


so my ac3 pass through works as well as normal sounds through the optic
spdif.

have to admin I have to now work out what the above does!
