In "pavucontrol", it actually does have a listing for the Xonar Sound Card,
but only the analog output port is available. In alsamixer, I can press F6
to select sound card, and "Xonar Sound Card" is a selection, but there is
no iec958 device.

But it actually is a PCIe x1 card.

If I get into the audio settings in MythTV, it will show the iec958 device,
but setting the audio to use it produces no sound.

That's true for stereo sound, but not so true when you try to use surround
sound and iec958 devices.
