I have a M-Audio/Delta Audiophile 2496 card, running under Debian
GNU/Linux 2.6.0-test1 (hence ALSA 0.9.4, using ice1712).  I'm trying
to record SPDIF input from a DAT player, to make WAV files on disk
(i.e., bit-for-bit copy).

Analog input is working fine:

   $ arecord -f cd -t wav -D plug:hw x.wav
   $ aplay x.wav
   [ ... hear the music ... ]
   $ 

(Much thanks to Clemens Ladisch for helping me to get that far!)

However, I haven't gotten digital input working yet; seems I'm missing
some configuration magic?

   $ arecord -f cd -t wav -D plug:spdif x.wav
   Recording WAVE 'x.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo
   ALSA lib pcm_params.c:2094:(snd_pcm_hw_refine_slave) Slave PCM not usable
   arecord: set_params:783: Broken configuration for this PCM: \
      no configurations available

   $ arecord -f cd -t wav -D plug:iec958 x.wav
   Recording WAVE 'x.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo
   ALSA lib pcm_params.c:2094:(snd_pcm_hw_refine_slave) Slave PCM not usable
   arecord: set_params:783: Broken configuration for this PCM: \
     no configurations available

   $ arecord -f cd -t wav -D spdif x.wav
   Recording WAVE 'x.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo
   arecord: set_params:783: Broken configuration for this PCM: \
     no configurations available

   $ arecord -f cd -t wav -D iec958 x.wav
   Recording WAVE 'x.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo
   arecord: set_params:783: Broken configuration for this PCM: \
     no configurations available

Has anyone done this, with the Audiophile or any other SPDIF-producing
card?  Is there some custom configuration I should put in my
~/.asoundrc?  I've been Googling on the above (and various other)
error messages, but so far the suggestions I've seen haven't solved
the problem...

Thanks in advance for any pointers,
-Karl
