[arch] Audigy 2 sound card: no digital out after alsa update

Hi,

I always used the coax digital out of my Creative Audigy 2 without a problem, 
but the last update did something wrong to my system. The ouput doesn't work 
anymore while the analog outputs still do. I tried to re-run alsaconf, set 
the levels with alsamixer and tried the suggestions at 
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ALSA_Setup.

Here's the output of lsmod:

I use KDE and it's mixer KMix. Not having KDE running (using "play" in 
terminal) gives the same result.

Any suggestions what to try? Thanks for your help..
