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...

Cheers
