It's the digi+ with optical and coaxial connector. Works non-pass through output.

What is your version of Kodi (xbian-package-xbmc) ?

Jep, that was me as well. Discussion then moved on to different issues and I didn't know what to try next either.

However, this latest finding somehow suggests that the problem is not xbian or raspberry specific but occurs whenever alsa tries to send the audio directly via s/pdif.

I just recently installed all available updates for my xbian build.
