CMI8x38 cards may work with SPDIF. Gerhard Gonter supplied a patch
that got incorporated. There was some re-working during glitch
blatting (not related to patch but with impact on SPDIF code). Not
tested here either of blatting - err("no hardware" :-)
I've cc'd this to Gerhard in case he's played with the driver since
release and can state whether it works...
