From the gentoo mailing list looks like they have got it working.

I found that, my laptop has two jacks: one is line-in/microphone, the other one is headphone/spdif output. My laptop manual says, it has a spdif output: 7.1. (Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pi 1505)
From alsa-project, there is a nice document: alsa doc
In the local kernel directory everybody must have this document: /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/alsa/ALSA-Configuration.txt
