I had the same problem, Takashi wrote me this:
afaik, the iec958 pcm device for ice1712 is not correctly set up in
/usr/share/alsa/cards/IEC1712.conf.
this is because ice1712 needs _always_ 10 channels, and only the last
twos are used for spdif.
in the config file above, it's defined using "route" pcm type, but it
seems not working well.
an easy solution is to define a pcm device by yourself, for example,
by adding the following to ~/.asoundrc
pcm.ice_spdif {
type plug
ttable.0.8 1
ttable.1.9 1
slave.pcm {
type hw
card 0
device 0
}
}
where the card number depends on your hardware setting.
then you can play/record via -Dice_spdif option.
this is always covered by "plug" device, so all formats/rates are
possible. this is not feasible in all cases, because sometime you
might want to access the hardware without any conversion in software,
but the application cannot know whether it's really supported.
