Subject: nforce 4 audio has no s/pdif out

My shiny new nforce 4 main board has sound that is detected OK by ALSA:

intel8x0_measure_ac97_clock: measured 49970 usecs
intel8x0: clocking to 46877
ALSA device list:
#0: NVidia CK804 with ALC850 at 0xd2003000, irq 185

but I can't get my stereo to play. It is connected via optical S/PDIF.
Works fine under Windoze, so the hardware is ok.

Any idea what I could do?

This is OT for LKML. ALSA bugs should be reported here:
