I could play movies perfectly well a few days ago, passing the digital audio tracks directly to my receiver via the optical audio output by reshuffling the pulseaudio output device while playing the movie.
Suddenly, I get no audio and I see this nonsense from attempting to run mplayer:
Opening audio decoder: [hwac3] AC3/DTS pass-through S/PDIF hwac3: switched to AC3, 384000 bps, 48000 Hz

I'm about to try switch to older kernel and see if I get sound there...

Yep, I get optical out sound on kernel-3.7.9-205.fc18.x86_64, but not on kernel-3.8.1-201.fc18.x86_64, so I guess it is time to file a bug (or see if there already is one).

Sigh, except that all I get are timeouts and proxy errors when trying to search redhat bugzilla (try again tomorrow I guess :-).

Bugzilla has started working, and I've been trying stuff. The results are here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=919630
One brief glimmer of hope when I heard sound, but it was coming from the wrong speakers :-).
I did try the latest 3.8.2 kernel from koji but it is no better (at least for sound :-).

and what about tryin a newer kernel? http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8
it is useless to make abugreport für 3.8.1 anywhere this time after upstrea is at 3.8.2 and fedora builds exists

When I upgraded one of my MythTV systemd to F18, I seem to remember that the name of my card changed and I needed to "rescan" the audio devices to find the proper, new card name. I have no idea why, but now the card in my case looks like (output from aplay -L):
hdmi:CARD=MID,DEV=0 HDA Intel MID, ALC887 Digital HDMI Audio Output
What is the output of aplay -L

aplay -L didn't change. It still claims S/PDIF is card 0 device 1, it just doesn't make any sound. (I'm back to running the 3.7 kernel for now, so I can't get the precise output 3.8 gives).
I did finally get a bugzilla submitted and it seems like a real bug (or maybe they have decided no one could possibly have any use for both S/PDIF and HDMI - it is hard to tell from the alsa intel hda driver patch descriptions :-).
