Hi Tim, the problem with the first can be caused by the card numbering.
Without a USB DAC the internal speaker is card 2. When the Touch starts
it sets the main music to "default" and the sound effects to card 2. BUT
when you add a USB DAC it can renumber things and now your s/pdif out is
card 2, so the sound effects go there no matter what the default is set
to. You can check this by doing an 
aplay -l
with both the USB DAC connected and without it connected. 


If this is the case you are going to have to change the card used in
the effects channel jive_alsa. Its best to change it to the name of the
device (you can see that in the aplay -l) rather than the card number.
This can be changed in those same 2 files which are edited to change
the buffer size etc.

This is also probably what was messing up your attempt at using the
original file scheme to have them both play at the same time. 

IF you are using the custom jive_alsa and setting the type to the other
24 bit format its not going to work either. If thats the case you will
want to setup the s/pdif as a plug interface rather than an hw
interface.  If you are sending the USB DAC the different 24 bit format,
then you have a problem because in that case the USB DAC and the s/pdif
driver use different formats, so one or the other has to use a plug
interface to convert. Since we used the special jive_alsa so we didn't
have to use the plug for USB, it would be best to use plug on the
s/pdif.
