I've tried AC3/DTS pass-through and after while AV receiver lost signal. I've also tried it on Windows 7, there is everything OK so no hardware problem. Normal PCM stereo digital-out works properly.

I should report that I now have been running an X-Fi XtremeGamer connected to a 7.1 processor via optical out on the card for 3 days straight with no failures. I am using a driver from unstable (not the released driver posted on the ALSA site). Analog sound is also very good.
The spdif failures I reported earlier seem to have been corrected. The only complaint that I do have is alsamixer not behaving exactly right but that is OK - xine, mplayer controls work fine.

I tried that one and the others in dev. I found this one (http://www.moobash.com/cont/alsa-dri...napshot.tar.gz) that works...

I'm using the X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Super Mega Duper Fatality edition. Mine is really the x-treme gamer Fatality card. It doesn't have the front panel though.
I just installed ALSA v1.0.21. There is a tutorial on how to do it.
Follow the tutorial and you should be fine. Keep in mind that Mint 8 will have native support as Ubuntu 9.10 already has the driver backported to 1.0.20.
