First of all, check you alsa.conf (slocate alsa.conf) to see if it

already has a spdif device listed, mine does.  Try:
cat /location/of/your/alsa.conf | grep spdif
Mine says that...
pcm.spdif cards.pcm.iec958
...is available, so to use aplay as an example, this would mean

something like these:
aplay -D spdif mysound.wav

aplay -Dplug:spdif mysound.wav
Frankly, I'm not sure which one is right or how ecasound does this.

The ecasound docs and examples are a great place to start.  There is

also someone who has apparenetly dealt wtih your exact problem (OK,

slightly different card) right here:
http://opensrc.org/alsa/index.php?page=1712+.asoundrc
And at the bottom I have posted my own /etc/asound.conf for my Delta

1010.  Channels are accessed for recording or playback by their pcm

name (Ex. arecord -D ice1712_spdif myfile.wav) once they are set up.
I hope this helps.
