I'd sugest you first try the analog i/o. Spdif is actually channels 9
and 10 (I think) in the i/o stream. Most apps will connect by default to
1 ans 2.

"envy24control" is part of the alsa-tools, which should already be
installed in your system if you did install one of the
"planetccrma-core-*" meta packages.

There is no need to run jack and/or its clients as root. If you are
booting into one of the Planet CCRMA kernels "jackd -R -d alsa -d hw"
should start with no problems and with the right privileges.

You should be able to use "jackd" instead of "jackstart", jackstart will
complain but in the end jack will be fine (using the right privileges).

This is weird. What kernel are you running? ("uname -r" to find out).
