Hi,

try putting this to ~/.asoundrc

pcm.spdif_capture
{
        type plug
        ttable.0.8 1
               ttable.1.9 1
        slave.pcm {
                       type hw
                       card 0
                device 0
               }
}

ecasound -i alsa,spdif_capture -o alsa,plughw:0

(I assume that Audiophile is card number 0)

or -o test.wav, but with the former you can monitor your spdif from the
analog outputs (of course you can do the same with envy24control and
setting the hw outs to spdif from the patchbay/router)

If you don't know ecasound yet, try:

arecord -D spdif_capture -f dat > test.wav

Remember to set the clock input to spdif from envy24control->Hardware
settings->Master clock->S/PDIF In, otherwise you get strange results or
no sound at all.

I have Audiophile 2496 and have successfully recorded through spdif, also
together with analog inputs, but that needs more .asoundrc magic:

pcm.2496_test
{
        type plug
        ttable.0.0 1
        ttable.1.1 1
        ttable.2.8 1
        ttable.3.9 1
        slave.pcm {
        type hw
        card 1
        device 0
        }
}

then:

arecord -D 2496_test -c 4 -r 48000 -f S32_LE > test.wav

gives you 4 channels.
