Okay, well as before nothing works for me unless I remove this line
        hwwrite(vortex->mmio, VORTEX_SPDIF_CFG1, this_38 >> 0x10);
from vortex_spdif_init().  Since I don't really understand what that
line is supposed to accomplish, I can't say whether thats an
irregularity of my receiver, or my soundcard (SQ2500), or what.

When I remove that line, I still get no output over SPDIF on the ADB
device, and looking at the code it looks like I shouldn't.  It seems to
me that to get the ADB on the SPDIF, instead of doing this:
        vortex_route(vortex, en, 0x14, ADB_MIXOUT(vortex->mixspdif[0]), 
ADB_SPDIFOUT(0));
        vortex_route(vortex, en, 0x14, ADB_MIXOUT(vortex->mixspdif[1]), 
ADB_SPDIFOUT(1));
you'd want to do something like:
        vortex_route(vortex, en, 0x14, ADB_MIXOUT(vortex->mixplayb[0]), 
ADB_SPDIFOUT(0));
        vortex_route(vortex, en, 0x14, ADB_MIXOUT(vortex->mixplayb[1]), 
ADB_SPDIFOUT(1));
since those are the mixers for the ADB device, unless I'm very
confused.  I did something similar with your last tarball and it worked
beautifully.

Now, as for the SPDIF device, once I take out that hwwrite line, it
seems to work.  In fact I think the sound quality is better than when I
took from the ADB device before.  However, when I play 44.1KHz ogg
files, the playback is a little too fast... I have some 48KHz flac files
which play correctly.  I tried changing the samplerate passed to
vortex_spdif_init(), but there was no change.
