Linux SPDIF support *solved*

[schmidtbag]

So I just found that Trine 2 is, as of right now, the only software I own that seems to intentionally ignore SPDIF and go straight to analog out. Is there a way to prevent this? I bought it on Steam, if that for some reason makes a difference.


EDIT:
So, while Trine 2 happened to be the only software I've encountered with SPDIF issues, apparently a reboot made the problem go away. I'm not sure why it happened in the first place or how to prevent it in the future, but at least the problem is gone.
