Title:
  No digital out with VIA VT1708b

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have an Asus M3N78-VM motherboard with VIA VT1708B onboard sound.

  This board has digital sound output via HDMI and a separate optical
  S/PDIF output jack. However on Intrepid I can only see the analog
  output device.
