To get amarok to use the SPDIF output, first use alsamixer and unmute the IEC958 output.
Then in the Configure Engine section of amarok, use the xine engine, the alsa output plugin, and change the alsa device configuration from:
Mono: default 4 Channels: plug:surround40:0 Stereo: default 6 Channels: plug:surround51:0
to
Mono: plug:spdif 4 Channels: plug:spdif Stereo: plug:spdif 6 Channels: plug:spdif
