I don't have any trouble after removing pulseaudio
Without removing pulseaudio I could never get mplayer to do the passthrough at all. This script plays DVDs just fine with audio going out to SP/DIF:
amixer set IEC958 unmute amixer set 'IEC958 Playback AC97-SPSA' 0 amixer set 'IEC958 Playback Source' PCM exec mplayer dvd://1 -alang en -ao alsa:device=hw=0.0 -ac hwdts,hwac3, -monitoraspect 16:9 -fs
Then pulseaudio came along, and nothing I tried would get this script to work again until I tried "yum erase pulseaudio" :-).
