I recently upgraded from gentoo-sources 2.6.22-r2 to 2.6.24-r3 and since then my audigy 1 (emu10k1) soundcard's digital out is not working anymore like before. I removed asound.state, reran alsaconf and changed all sliders in alsamixer at least once to be sure. Following a suggestion from the gentoo forums I added this to my .asoundrc: pcm.!default { type plug slave { pcm "spdif" } } This partially fixed the digital out in so far that some programs (e.g. audacious) manage to get sound out of my speakers, while mplayer requires the parameters "-ao alsa:device=spdif" in order to do the same. However it's not possible to play two audio streams at the same time nor can I control the volume with alsamixer. Flash applets can't be convinced to produce sound however. Analog output works fine on the other hand. It's impossible to use the Analog/Digital Output Jack or IEC958 Optical Raw switches in alsamixer while audacious is playing though, they remain constantly enabled for the duration of the playback. I haven't gotten dolby digital/dts passthrough to work at all since the upgrade. Alsa is compiled as kernel modules.

Can you please test with the latest vanilla kernel which is vanilla-sources-2.6.25_rc8 at this point.

Apparently shutting down alsasound and removing the modules was not enough but rebooting to single runlevel did the job. Thanks!
