It is, but damfino what it is. I posted about a similar problem. Actually
the same thing. "IEC958 Optical Raw Playback," right? I got a lot of people
throwing out random and ultimately useless suggestions, but nobody had a clue
where this is really coming from. I haven't been able to figure it out
myself.
My solution was to fix the mixer, then do an alsactl store 0, then
copy /var/somewhere/asound.state to make a copy of what it looked like with
the mixer working. Whenever something goes awry (like right after any of my
users log in) I can just click an icon to run a script to copy that back over
and run an alsactl restore 0 to fix everything. I'm sure there is a more
tidy way than this ugly hack, but at least it works the same way every time,
and I have found a way to live with this mysterious KDE flummy that keeps
screwing everything up.
